Research Desk integrates with ReDem for post-field data cleaning. All projects run on Research Desk qualify for complimentary data cleaning with Rep Data’s dedicated cleaning team.

​
Submission limits

You can submit up to 3 data cleaning requests per project. Plan your submissions around soft-launch review, mid-field checks, and final closeout.

​
Opening the data cleaning form

You can open the data cleaning form in two ways:
  1. From the navigation bar — Select Data Cleaning in the left-hand banner
  2. From a project — Use the Data Cleaning action on a project to pre-fill project context
When opened from the navigation bar, select A data cleaning request and search for the related project.

​
What the form collects

The form gathers the information the cleaning team needs to scope and execute the engagement. Fields may be pre-populated from your project when you open the form from a project context. Review all pre-filled values before submitting. Correct any project or survey references that do not match your request. If you do not provide specific cleaning parameters, the team runs a generic clean for speeders, straight-liners, and poor open-ends.

​
After submission

Submitting the form creates a Research Desk Data Cleaning Case in Rep Data’s case management system. The cleaning team reviews your request and returns a report of flagged IDs with removal reasons.

​
Preparing your data

Before submitting, format your export according to ReDem’s file import requirements. See Preparing Data for Cleaning for platform-specific export steps and the required CSV/Excel structure. For ReDem file format details, see the ReDem file import documentation.
