Survey Data Papers

Relevant questions pertaining to survey research should consider:

1. What was there a satisfactory participation rate (e.g., at least 50%)? If not, what interfered with achieving a higher rate?
2. What was the rationale for the sampling procedure used?
3. How was the survey developed, pilot tested, and/or revised?
4. Are survey item examples included in the text or, if necessary, an appendix of the survey included?
5. If existing instruments were modified to accommodate the study what was the rationale for doing so?
6. What were the reliability and validity estimates (if relevant) of all instruments used?
