Research on survey methodology
In the SOM surveys and the Swedish Citizen Panel, the SOM Institute conduct research in the academic field of survey methodology. The main purpose of our survey methodology research is to assess, strengthen, and advance the research methods used by the SOM Institute.
In order to ensure quick access to our, both bigger and smaller, methodological advancements, we regularly publish them in our report series Notes on Survey Methodology. This page also lists papers on survey methodology published by our researchers in various journals.
