Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming submission deadline (February 28, 2023) for the 4th Mobile Apps and Sensors in Surveys (MASS) workshop in Manchester (UK) in June 22-23, 2023.

For the 4th MASS workshop, we invite contributions that focus, among others, on the following methodological issues when using mobile apps, sensors, and wearables in surveys:

Technical aspects of mobile apps, sensors, and wearables
    Different ways to collect sensor, app, and wearable data
    Building apps for Android and iOS
    Data processing and storage
     Study and app design
    Look and feel of apps
    Usability studies
    Use of incentives
    Giving feedback to respondents
Implementation
    Willingness to participate and consent
    Methods to invite and communicate with study participants
    Study length and study intensity
    Legal, ethical, and privacy considerations
    Data handling
Quality of data from mobile apps, sensors, and wearables
    Errors of non-representation (self-selection, coverage, and nonparticipation)
    Measurement error (prevention, modeling, and correction)
    Validity of measurements with mobile apps, sensors, and wearables
Data analysis
    Analysis of sensor data
    Combining survey data with data from mobile apps, sensors, and wearables


Please submit your abstract for the workshop to b.struminskaya@uu.nl by February 28, 2023. The abstract should contain a research question, data collection procedures (e.g., a description of the app), and results, if available. If results are not available yet, the abstract should outline the type of analyses that will be presented at the workshop.
