Achievements of Mapi Research Trust's Author Collaboration Unit (ACU)

By Caroline Anfray, Director, Author Collaboration Unit, Mapi Research Trust, Lyon, France


Researching questionnaires can be challenging, as information is often spread across multiple sources. There is no formal and streamlined process for the centralization and dissemination of information on questionnaires by many authors. The Mapi Research Trust was founded with the mission of centralizing, processing, and disseminating quick, reliable and exhaustive information on questionnaires to the scientific community.


To help further this mission, the Trust has launched the Author Collaboration Unit, entirely dedicated to assisting authors in the daily management of their questionnaires and all derivatives, including translations and electronic versions.
The Author Collaboration Unit provides authors with the Mapi Research Trust’s unique expertise in copyright protection, management, and promotion of questionnaires and derivative works. Over 500 questionnaires are officially distributed by Mapi Research Trust on behalf of their authors, ensuring copyright protection, maintaining questionnaire integrity, and enhancing their visibility.
