讲座梗概Abstract：Surveyme thodology is an academic discipline engaged in the study of the surveyprocess and how to improve the error properties of findings from surveys. The field has a relatively recent history of less than a century of study, but a considerable research literature has been developed on aspects from population and inference to sampling methods, measurement, data collectionmethods, privacy and confidentiality, and many other topics. The survey methodology literature continues to expand with contributions more recently concerning responsive design, mixed or multi-mode survey designs, and integration with social media and “big data” coming from diverse sources. This presentation reviews the nature of the survey process, recurring research themes in the field, and new topics that are actively being investigated today.
