Tools

The key research tools in PEN research are the PEN prototype questionnaire, the PEN Technical Guidelines, the list of codes, the PEN database for data entry, and various notes on data analysis and research methods to be developed as the project progresses.

Students and researchers not directly linked to PEN are welcome to use the questionnaire and guidelines in their own work and for non-commercial purposes. Due reference and acknowledgement should be made, using the following citations:
