Very happy to see our paper with P. J. Lavrakas on Social-psychological Aspects of Probability-based Online Panel Participation published in International Journal of Public Opinion Research, especially since we demonstrated how qualitative data can be used to study non-response phenomena: doi.org/10.1093/ijpor/…

Great to see our work with Institute for Social Change being discussed on #radionational Over half of Tasmanians suffer food insecurity abc.net.au/radio/programs…

Our paper with Bernie Baffour on improving accuracy of Australian nonprobability online panel samples has been published in @gesis_ord's mda: doi.org/10.12758/mda.2…. While challenging, we showed how carefully designed post-survey adjustment can be successful in reducing bias.

Thrilled to see our meta-analysis (with @lkaczmirek) finally out! A thorough analysis of recruitment rates/practices in 28 probability-based online panels is now published in the International Journal of Social Research Methodology at doi.org/10.1080/136455… #Stats #survey

After a stimulating first day at #WAPOR23 conference, I'm excited to present tomorrow on post-survey adjustments aimed at mitigating representation bias in an academic volunteer online panel. WAPOR

A new day, a different country, a different conference, another presentation of my methods research. This time I have the privilege to talk about my PhD thesis research (Approaches to dealing with survey errors in online panel research) at #GOR23. DGOF

Another paper on motivations to participate in online panels with P.J. Lavrakas has just been published in Survey Practice. In this one, we present a method that could help improve representation for a very low cost by utilizing self-reported motivations: surveypractice.org/article/88139-…

Seriousness aside, "Understanding Australia" sounds more like a hybrid between SocialResearchCentre's Life in Australia (we used data from this online panel) and Understanding Society longitudinal survey (Understanding Society). I do like this blended name for a future study in Australia, though.🙂

Just published my final piece from my PhD thesis - the article on RDD text-to-web is now available in IJMR. It covers (almost) everything you need to know to implement text-to-web (with or without RDD) in practice. Read it here: doi.org/10.1177/147078…

New article from Sebastian Kocar on the investigation between wave communications that could serve as cost-effective panel maintenance activities to increase completion in panel surveys. Read it today. bit.ly/3UfcDs3

Our evidence review on occupation coding in self-completion surveys (with Matt Brown & Lisa Calderwood from UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies) is now available on Survey Futures website: surveyfutures.net/wp-content/upl… (other project publications are also available there)

📣SAVE THE DATE Our friends at City St George's, University of London will be hosting our Survey Futures international conference, taking place on 17-18 June 2026. We will explore the Future of Survey Data Collection, presenting findings from our nine research strands, plus panel discussions and more.

Our paper with PJ Lavrakas is now out in the International Journal of Market Research. We examine motivations & barriers to questionnaire completion in a nonprobability online panel, and identify five distinct psychographic profiles of panellists. More at doi.org/10.1177/147078…
