= a professional network of online community and social media practitioners, organized by Forum One


Description

Bill Johnston:

"The main activity of the OCRN is to develop and participate in an ongoing research agenda about online community and social media practice. What that means, specifically, is that members:


  • Drive the Research Agenda - OCRN members vote quarterly on which research subjects to study.
  • Help Design Research Studies - OCRN members help design the research studies by reviewing and giving input on survey instruments. We are usually able to accommodate specific questions from members into the survey.
  • Participate in Research Studies - OCRN members also participate in the studies by completing the survey instrument, along with a select group from our extended network of 8,000+ community professionals. Members are also occasionally interviewed in-depth to supplement information gleaned from the survey process.'
