Hi,
I’m a doctoral student and my study population if online social network users. Since there are no sampling frames, selecting a representative sample is difficult. I thought of non-probability sampling (e.g. Volunteer panels of Internet users). Can anyone suggest a better way to sample? Any related articles/books on how to determine the sample size? Thanks.
Hi Hemamali,
Our featured journal content this month is about Facebook surveys http://www.methodspace.com/forum/topics/not-by-the-book-facebook-as-a-sampling-frame
And you should check out this website – Web Survey Methodology which has links to lots of articles and is managed by leading figures in web survey methods http://www.websm.org/c/395/Other_new_technologies/?preid=97.
You should also think about joining the new network SAGE is setting up with NatCen and the OII on social media research methods. http://www.methodspace.com/forum/topics/new-ncrm-network-for-social-media-research-methods
Good luck!
Katie
