About Surveys

I am a college student who has needed to perform surveys for research. I found that online surveys work most effectively. The data is collected for you automatically. All you need to do is create the survey and analyze the results. Regular paper surveys are a pain because you have to go through each survey and manually extract all the data. The only problem I came across using online surveys was having people actually respond to the survey. But, I do know that some online survey software companies, like Qualtrics, can put you in touch with panel companies which will help you get as many respondents as you need. This works well for businesses doing market research or schools doing field research. For example if you wanted to do a survey about doctors, the panel company would set up a panel of 100 doctors (or however many you needed) and they would all take your survey.
