Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

Deciding on which software package to use for Web-based social science data collection can be extremely difficult because of the wide range of software products available. Costs can range from a few hundred dollars all the way up to thousands, so it is important for the researcher to understand the three major categories of Web survey software and their capabilities before focusing in on comparing any specific group of products.
