Assessing Survey Research, a principled approach

Most recent version of the survey research assessment framework prepated by Benoît Gauthier, president of Circum Network inc.

This document is the most recent version of an assessment framework for survey research developed by Circum Network's president, Benoît Gauthier. This framework aims at disciplining the assessment (and self-assessment) of survey research by offering a series of criteria based on four fundamental principles: rigour, neutrality, balance and transparency. Applied to the six phases of survey research (questionnaire design, sampling, data collection, data management, data analysis and reporting), these four principles create 24 assessment areas which translate into some sixty specific criteria.
