Technological advances allowing to collect new types of data (e.g. Big Data/ Digital Trace data/ Sensors data) present many opportunities, but challenges are sometimes overlooked. In this blog, I will try to show that by exploring those challenges, we can make better use of these new approaches to collect data, and even get to have a better understanding of social and political phenomena.
An important disclaimer, I do not intend to be extremely active as a blogger – a Ph.D. is a demanding lover- and most surely I will mainly write blogs to self-promote my work (sorry not sorry). However, I promise I will try to publish every now and then posts about the innovations in data collection methods happening in the field of survey methodology (and others, maybe).
