This document contains an aggregation of qualitative data collected in DataONE surveys from 2012 through 2014.

During the DataONE Users Group (DUG) meeting and the Earth Science Information Partners’ Conference held in Madison, Wisconsin from July 15th – July 20th, we conducted a usability test evaluating DataONE.org and ONEMercury. This initial report works to address the preliminary issues that were continually identified as problematic throughout the usability testing.
