The introduction and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the process of research is extending beyond research management into research practice itself. This extension of the use of ICT in research is being termed as e-research. The characteristics of e-research are seen as the combination of three interrelated strands, which are: the increased computerization of the research process; research organized more predominantly in the form of distributed networks of researchers, and a strong emphasis on visualization. E-research has become established in the natural sciences but the development of e-research in relation to social sciences is variable and less pervasive. The richness of the social sciences and their variety of practices and engagement in diverse fields of study mean that e-research as utilized in the natural sciences cannot be easily migrated into the social sciences. This paper explores the development of e-research for the social sciences. The paper is based on an ESRC funded e-social science demonstrator project in which social scientists sought to shape the use of Grid ICT technologies in the research process. The project is called: ‘Collaborative Analysis of Offenders’ Personal and Area-based Social Exclusion’: it addresses social exclusion in relation to how individual and neighbourhood effects account for geographical variations of crime patterns and explores the opportunities and challenges offered by e-research to address the research problem. The paper suggests that if e-research is driven from the needs of social research then it can enhance the practice of social science.

ResumenEl artículo expone los resultados encontrados a partir de la convocatoria del I Congreso Nacional de Investigación Universitaria, realizado los días 4, 5 y 6 de octubre del 2019, organizado por la Universidad Ricardo Palma a través de su Vicerrectorado de Investigación, en el marco del quincuagésimo aniversario de la universidad. La convocatoria contó con el auspicio y apoyo económico del Concytec-Fondecyt y congregó a 640 profesores investigadores universitarios, entre  articipantes y expositores, quienes laboran en diversas universidades del país y presentaron conferencias magistrales, ponencias libres, mesas institucionales, mesas redondas y posters.En términos cuantitativos se tuvo la presencia de 10 conferencistas magistrales extranjeros, 15 conferencistas magistrales nacionales, 60 ponencias de temas libres, 12 mesas institucionales, una mesa redonda y 33 posters, que hacen un total de 148 trabajos de investigación expuestos.Los temas o áreas más importantes fueron epistemología e investigación, gestión de la investigación, metodología de la investigación, procesamiento de datos en la investigación, el informe en la investigación, investigación y empresa, así como bioquímica, biotecnología, tecnología e innovación tecnológica, ciencias biomédicas, neurociencias, ecología y sostenibilidad, psicología, ciencias sociales y humanidades.Los resultados de este primer encuentro nacional están contenidos en 4 publicaciones: el Boletín 1, el Libro de Resúmenes de Conferencias y Ponencias, el Programa Analítico del Congreso y la Memoria, esta última deberá contener los artículos científicos presentados mediante ponencias, conferencias, mesas redondas y posters. Palabras Clave: Congreso Nacional de Investigación, investigación universitaria, método, área de conocimiento.  AbstractThe article presents the results found from the call for the I National Congress of University Research, held on 4, 5 and 6 October 2019. It was organized by the Ricardo Palma University through its Vice-rectorate of Research, in the framework of the fiftieth anniversary of the university. The call was sponsored and financially supported by Concytec- Fondecyt and brought together 640 university research professors, among participants and lecturers, who work in various universities in the country and presented keynote speeches, free lectures, institutional tables, round tables and posters. In quantitative terms, there were 10 foreign lecturers, 15 national lecturers, 60 presentations on free topics, 12 institutional tables, a round table and 33 posters, making a total of 148 research projects presented.The most important topics or areas were epistemology and research, research management, research methodology, data processing in research, research report, research and business, as well as biochemistry, biotechnology, technology and technological innovation, biomedical sciences, neurosciences, ecology and sustainability, psychology, social sciences and humanities.The results of this first national meeting are contained in four publications: Newsletter 01, the Book of Abstracts of Conferences and Lectures, the Analytical Programme of the Congress and the Memoir, the latter should contain the scientific articles presented through lectures, round tables and posters. Keywords: National Research Congress, university research, method, area of knowledge.

Abstract. Factorial survey experiments are increasingly used in the social sciences to investigate behavioral intentions. The measurement of self-reported behavioral intentions with factorial survey experiments frequently assumes that the determinants of intended behavior affect actual behavior in a similar way. We critically investigate this fundamental assumption using the misdirected email technique. Student participants of a survey were randomly assigned to a field experiment or a survey experiment. The email informs the recipient about the reception of a scholarship with varying stakes (full-time vs. book) and recipient’s names (German vs. Arabic). In the survey experiment, respondents saw an image of the same email. This validation design ensured a high level of correspondence between units, settings, and treatments across both studies. Results reveal that while the frequencies of self-reported intentions and actual behavior deviate, treatments show similar relative effects. Hence, although further research on this topic is needed, this study suggests that determinants of behavior might be inferred from behavioral intentions measured with survey experiments.
