Qualtrics is a private research software company, based in Provo, UT. The company was founded in 1997 by Scott M. Smith, Ph.D.[1]

Their software enables users to create their own Web-based surveys and conduct statistical analysis.[2] Qualtrics offers a research suite that has been used to conduct research in academic, corporate, non-profit and government organizations.[3]

Qualtrics is a feedback tool[4] that provides a license allowing organizations to conduct research and use the research suite tool. Users can then use the tool directly.[5] The Qualtrics Research Suite builds the database and records the completed responses as they are submitted. The data may then be analyzed online, exported to Microsoft Excel, or imported into a dedicated statistical analysis program such as SPSS.[6]

Some institutions use this tool because it "combines exceptional ease of use with an advanced set of features."[6] Quantitative statistical analysis performed with Qualtrics is cited in a number of professional and academic journals[7] and books.[8]
