onesurvey for Field Research

GPS-tagged, audio-recorded, bias-reduced data collection for academic and scientific field studies.

Designed for rigorous data collection

Field research demands data integrity — accurate location metadata, controlled question order, complete responses, and a reliable audit trail. onesurvey is built to meet these requirements without asking your research team to compromise on usability.

Question and page randomisation is built in — shuffle order per respondent to eliminate sequence bias in your study design.

Common research applications

  • Structured household and community interviews
  • Environmental and ecological field assessments
  • Social science and anthropological surveys
  • Public health and epidemiological studies
  • Agricultural and rural livelihood surveys
  • Infrastructure and asset mapping
  • Ethnographic interview documentation

Features for research integrity

Question randomisation — shuffle question and page order per respondent. Reduces sequence bias and interviewer influence on responses.

Answer validation — required fields, numeric ranges, and format constraints ensure data arrives clean. No incomplete or out-of-range values.

GPS location capture — every response is geo-tagged to the exact coordinates of collection. Essential for spatial analysis and geographic distribution studies.

Background audio recording — capture the full interview conversation alongside structured responses for qualitative analysis or audit purposes.

Offline-first sync — collect in remote field sites without worrying about connectivity. Data syncs automatically when devices return to signal.

18 question types for any methodology

From Likert scales and rating questions to GPS coordinates, image documentation, audio responses, and matrix grids — onesurvey covers the full range of structured data formats used in field research. Build mixed-method instruments in one tool.

Spatial analysis and export

Visualise your response data on an interactive map to understand geographic distribution. Export clean datasets as CSV for import into R, SPSS, Stata, or Excel for further statistical analysis.
