Description: The purpose of this study is to inform our priorities and collaborative efforts for the Center for Open Bioimage Analysis (COBA), Bioimaging North America (BINA), the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS), and the Global Bio-Image Analysts’ Society (GloBIAS). There is no minimum or maximum skill level in image analysis required to participate - we hope to get answers from people who have analyzed <10 images in their life all the way through to professional bioimage analysts. There are 15 mandatory multiple choice questions, 5 optional multiple choice questions, and 11 optional open-text-response questions. Completion should take 5-15 minutes, depending on the number of open-text responses you provide.

Data resulting from this survey may be used in future publications, but individual responses to this survey will remain anonymous and no potentially identifying information is requested; please do not provide identifying information (such as your email address, name, or affiliation) in any of your responses if you wish to ensure your anonymity, as we will not be manually removing such information.
