Language: English

Non-probability online surveys are being increasingly used in research and policy analysis. Reasons for their use include  the relatively low cost of setting up, maintenaning, and colleticting large sample size with this approach. However, non­-probability online surveys pose a number of methodological issues, e. g., the generalization of the findings. The session fosters discussion on the issues concerning the quality of survey data obtained from non­-probability (online) surveys.
