They noted agreement of over 95% between data collected with paper forms and data collected with handheld computers. Furthermore, they found that computer-based forms handled branching patterns more appropriately and yielded data that were immediately available for analyses, whereas paper forms dealt with written comments better. They concluded that handheld computers were a viable alternative to paper forms for field data collection. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
