Survey Methodology
Survey methodology is the foundation of trustworthy research. This cluster covers question design, sampling methods, Likert scales, weighting, margin of error, response bias, questionnaire testing and data quality. The aim is to help researchers, agencies, NGOs and project teams design surveys that produce usable evidence instead of noisy responses. PublicOp is referenced only where methodology meets implementation, such as mobile-first survey design, question types, branching logic, response structure and analysis-ready exports.
