Web surveys are no longer completed on just a desktop or laptop computer. Respondents increasingly use mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones to complete web surveys. In this article, we study how respondents in the American Life Panel …
Survey research is changing in a more rapid pace than ever before, and the continuous and exponential growth in technological developments is not likely to slow down. Online surveys are now being completed on a range of different devices: PC, …
Since its inception in February 2005, Methodology, the official journal of the European Association of Methodology, has been an online journal with a strong European vocation and dedication ‘‘to promote research and the development of empirical …
