ERGO application made through University of Southampton ERGO page on 12/3/2015. Initial application was sent to Thanassis for approval, which was granted immediately on the same day:
“Submission Number: 14244
Submission Name: Science of Social Networks Group 2 Project – Scene
This is email is to let you know your submission has been reviewed and approved by your supervisor.
It has now been sent to the Ethics committee for review.”
Following that, also on the 12th March, a reply from the ERGO Committee was received:
“Submission Name : Science of Social Networks Group 2 Project – Scene
Submission ID : 14244
A note has been added to your ethics submission
Comments : Please can you resubmit this using version 6.6d of the Ethics form? We can no longer accept older versions of the form.”
This caused some confusion, as the submitted form was the one downloaded from the link provided on the ERGO pages…..! The mission to locate form 6.6d began.
Form 6.6d was located under:
‘ERGO downloads – Documents for your Faculty – FPSE EC Application Form’
This was a strange place for it, given that there was no mention of 6.6d in the title and the document template originally submitted was located under:
‘ERGO downloads – Exemplar Core Documents – Ethics Application Form’
