Declarations

:

: The study followed the ethical procedures of the European research project Sim4Blocks. This most importantly included the transparent information of participants on the purpose, method and planned dissemination of the study. Furthermore, information was provided on how the data were pseudonymized and how long the data would be stored. All participants gave their explicit consent to participate in the study. No ethics committee was involved, as this was neither foreseen in the Sim4Blocks project contracts nor among the institutions involved in the study.

: All partners of the Sim4Blocks project were informed well in advance of the submission of this publication and were asked to state any possible objection, in accordance with the consortial agreement. No objection was stated by the project partners. Study participants were informed about the research purpose and provided their consent to participate in the study as well as the use of the obtained data for scientific publications, following the procedures of the Sim4Blocks project, which are documented within its grant agreement (see InternalRef removed).

: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
