‘Send to Harmony’ Chrome plugin

'Send to Harmony' Chrome plugin

[Beta mode: we are currently testing this extension]

We have developed a browser extension for Harmony called “Send to Harmony” which lets you send selected text to Harmony with a right-click. For PDFs, use the popup to paste your selected text.

Send to Harmony enables users to send selected text to the Harmony Data Harmonization (https://harmonydata.ac.uk/) platform for analysis. This plugin provides a right-click or context menu item which allows users to easily bring text from into their harmonisations, making it easier to compare and analyze different measurement scales across research studies.

Simply select the text you want to send to Harmony, right click and select “Send to Harmony” - Your items will open in a new tab.

Introducing Harmony Meta: A Simpler Way to Discover Research Metadata Finding the right data is the foundation of good research, but it shouldn’t be the hardest part of the process. We are pleased to announce the beta release of Harmony Meta, a search tool built to help researchers find datasets and study information more efficiently. This first version is now live, and we are inviting the research community to test it and help us shape its future.

Improving Harmony's PDF extraction with user testing

Since we built Harmony, a common complaint has been that it frequently identifies the wrong questions in PDFs. The original algorithm for finding questions in PDFs was a mixture of rule based heuristics and some hand coded logic to look for e.g. lines in the document which begin with numbers. This was very fragile and worked fine on short questionnaires such as the GAD-7, but failed on larger documents. We decided to run a competition with our partner DOXA AI where members of the public could train their own model to extract questions from PDFs.
