Recensioner i media

This exciting new handbook provides a comprehensive guide to conducting survey research studies. Authored by a distinguished set of experts from across the globe, chapters cover all phases of survey projects—from conceiving, designing and planning, through sampling, measurement, and data collection, to post-fieldwork data processing, data augmentation, and quality assessment. Extensive attention to multi-national or cross-cultural survey projects is a special asset: both challenges to comparability in such studies, and current practices to achieving it in vital domains including sampling, translation, and harmonization of data over space and time, are treated in depth.
