Default Re: Why do people cite surveys?

[ QUOTE ]
This is why survey research is almost a discipline of its own, and why academic openness (as always) is vital in surveys, so you can know what means have been done not to get skewered results , and what means may give skewered results in your sample etc.

Photoshop material? Also, QFT. There are good surveys and bad surveys depending on the actual makeup of any representative sample, sample size, survey phrasing, order of questions, yada yada... It's important to know how a survey is conducted before it's used or accepted as any form of support.
