How to reward/thank those who help you with scholarly research?
In my line of work I do a lot of scholarly research which requires that I call a bunch of people and ask them questions. Kind of like a high-end survey amongst a select few. I get the data I need from those people in a phone conversation and then generally never speak to them again. That makes me feel bad. Is there some etiquette around how to thank those that provide one with answers/data for research purposes?

Often you can write an acknowledgments section in the article or book that results and thank them there. And, of course, you could just write a nice handwritten thank you note.

This is my personal opinion. A short, business-like letter would be appropriate. Written in a manner that the person might be able to use it as an endorsement in the event they might need testimony to further their goals in life.
In other words, be sure to thank them and also mention the value of their help and support, and that their expertise was very useful in completing your research.
