In the user survey, we gauged the feasibility of a fee-for-service model to sustain VEuPathDB operations. A significant majority of respondents were fully or conditionally supportive of this. Thousands of thoughtful comments converged on key recommendations to implement such a model.

021

veupathdb.org @veupathdb.org · 05/03/2025

We asked, "How else would you accomplish the tasks for which you use VEuPathDB?" 💬 Survey says- there are no clear alternatives! One comment that summarized the issue of fragmented alternatives: “It would be very tedious and would require using many, many other resources.”

veupathdb.org @veupathdb.org · 04/03/2025

The VEuPathDB survey asked users to estimate the impact on their lab's productivity (from 0-100) if VEuPathDB resources were to disappear altogether. We also asked them to describe the impact. ✏️The infographic lists a few key themes that emerged from nearly 1500 comments!
