We are currently investigating the practices of native and nonnative speakers of English in academic writing. We have a short survey. Those who are involved in academic writing in English are potential participants to this survey. We intend to collect data from academics with different mother tongues. We’d be glad if you could spare five minutes to complete the survey. The data will be used for research purposes and will not be disclosed. Thanks in advance for your time. Please find the link below.

Please note that:
The data collected through this survey is confidential.
You have the right to withdraw at any time.
There is no harm expected.
I agree with you arif.
At thus stage it is difficult to make any changes besides ethical considerations are dealt with during application for ethics clearance which you did.
Arif Bakla - I think you need to add to the link of the questionnaire, a cover letter for your study showing the title of the research, university (institute) name and college. You also need to state the ethical approval body date and number, the aims of the study, and consent that participants agree to be included in the study. This information is needed for inviting participants to join a research study and assuring them that collected data will be kept confidential, and they have the right to withdraw from the study at any time.
Total endorse Samy ...and you must state when using an online survey which country the data/IRL will be stored...ie Survey Monkey is the USA...each country has differing laws on private information and identification.
Thank you for the recommendations Samy. Such information should be provided, yet it makes the already long survey much longer. I did it in earlier projects such as this: http://elt-zone.com/limesurvey/index.php?r=survey/index/sid/754552/lang/en Now that the survey is active, it is not possible to add a new section. I shared key issues in the main message above. Thanks once again.
