1. 24 researchers were first interviewed in-depth from one research-only institution (CSIC) and two universities (ULE and UL).

2. Interview responses were then used to design a structured questionnaire, known as the ENEIDA Questionnaire, comprising thirty-seven questions related to both English and Spanish for Publication Purposes.

3. The questionnaire was piloted with 200 researchers selected from the total population of staff with doctorates (8,794) at the three institutions mentioned above, plus another two universities (UJI and UZ).

4. The questionnaire was then sent out to the total population, yielding responses from 1717 researchers.

5. Their responses are stored in the ENEIDA Database.

In September 2010, Minigroup 1 of researchers presented
the ENEIDA Questionnaire to the ENEIDA Team for its final revision and approval
before being launched in December 2010.
