Toward a New Approach to Creating Population-Representative Data for Demographic Research.

ABSTRACT: The evaluation of innovative web-based data collection methods that are convenient for the general public and that yield high-quality scientific information for demographic researchers has become critical. Web-based methods are crucial for researchers with nationally representative research objectives but without the resources of larger organizations.
