Dear colleagues,
we are currently planning to publish a special volume on "Survey Methodology in Higher Education Research" in a refereed (German) journal. The volume is intended for researchers who conduct surveys in the field of higher education research and science studies within the framework of national education monitoring, research projects or evaluation studies.
The subjects of higher education research are a special target group in many ways. So far, however, only little methodological research has been published specifically in the field of higher education research. With this special volume, we therefore aim on bringing together important findings of methodological research in order to enable the scientific community of higher education researchers to benefit from this expertise.
We are particularly interested in contributions on the following topics:
· Panel acquisition, both target groups and universities
· Sampling and weighting
· Survey experiments, e.g. on incentives, survey modes, timing and duration
· Panel engagement, attrition and nonresponse
· Cognitive pretesting of survey instruments; practice and findings
· Measurement instrument development and validation, e.g. also in comparison of different disciplines, qualification levels or languages
However, further topics dealing with survey methodological issues in higher education research are also welcome.
Please send your abstract to Gesche Brandt g.brandt(a)dzhw.eu<mailto:g.brandt@dzhw.eu> or Susanne de Vogel devogel(a)dzhw.eu<mailto:devogel@dzhw.eu> by 28 February 2020.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us. We are looking forward to receiving your submissions.
