When I see the academic tools on the market to help researchers, rather than scare me, I get depressed and think: will I be doing my best? Could I do it better?

Hello Rafael,
Thank you for the question - well, I feel for a social scientist the tools that I have in my hand are sufficient ... I do not want to complicate my life further! -:)
Thanks and regards

As a researcher working in Brazil, sometimes I feel that we do not have enough questionnaires that are validated in Portuguese. There are many tools in English that I wish we had in Portuguese. Some of those we validate ourselves at the University, but it takes some time.
Hello Thais,
Well, in the literature - it states that the questionnaire in a foreign language needs to be translated twice - once from English to Portuguese for example, then from Portuguese into English - and as far as you have evidence that you have done that, and acknowledged the source of the questionnaire or worked with the originator of the questionnaire - you can use this questionnaire for your research.
I am not sure what is your area of expertise, but I have my online survey on ethical mindsets that you can reach on http://curtinbusiness.asia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3xyQA3xQG9Z0paB
If you wish to have it translated into Portuguese - I would be more than happy to work with you. This will add to my knowledge on the people of Brazil!
If you wish you can e-mail me directly.
Thanks and regards
Theodora Issa
