Bristol Online Surveys (BOS)
BOS is currently managed by the University of Bristol and provided as a service to the UK HE community. On 1 August 2017, ownership will be transferred to Jisc. Following transfer to Jisc it is expected that the ‘look and feel’ of BOS should remain the same.
BOS account access is set up by IT Services who are account administrators. Researchers wishing to use a BOS survey should put a request through the IT Service Desk (SNOW).
It is important to note that on 1 August 2017, BOS will be unavailable for around 48 hours. We do not know the exact time period at the moment. More information is available on the BOS site:
