Academic publisher SAGE has announced the publication of The SAGE Handbook of Survey Methodology, exploring both the increasingly scientific endeavour of surveys and their growing complexity. The Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to conducting survey research studies.
As different data collection modes and information sources are combined and Survey Methodology becomes a more structured field of research, the Handbook provides an essential, up-to-date tool for researchers. With a team of international experts, the Handbook looks at local and national specificities, as well as problems of cross-national, comparative survey research. The chapters are organised into nine major sections, each of which represents a stage in the survey life-cycle -
Basic Principles; Surveys and Societies; Planning a Survey; Measurement; Sampling; Data Collection; Preparing Data for Use; Assessing and Improving Data Quality; and Further Issues.
A free 30-day online trial of SAGE Knowledge, including The SAGE Handbook of Survey Methodology, is available by emailing librarysales@sagepub.co.uk.
