Online Surveys

We advise researchers from scientific institutions, organizations, and universities in areas of web-based data collection and online research. Our consulting service applies to both single items and to complete online projects. (Who can make use of our advising services?)

Our range of services includes consultations on design, implementation, and analysis for survey projects. In cooperation with our colleagues, we also perform pretests of survey questionnaires, construct samples and encode responses. If desired, we can also give application-oriented assistance during the entire project. 

Our Consulting and Research Focus in regards to Online Surveys is:

• Coverage and non-response in internet surveys
• Questionnaire design in web surveys
• Human-Survey interaction
• Good versus bad questions in online surveys
• Online survey software for universities (web survey software tools)
• Eye-tracking for the identification of problems and the optimization of questionnaires
