The Reporting of Nonresponse Analyses in Survey Research
研究发现,在调查研究中,只有不到三分之一的论文报告了无应答分析,且报告率与期刊质量、文章质量和样本特征有关。
Because survey respondents may not be representative of the population being studied, the external validity of many research conclusions may be of concern. Nonresponse analyses helps address this concern. The purpose of this article is to identify how frequently nonresponse analyses are reported and what variables are related to these rates. The authors find that less than one third of the survey studies include nonresponse analyses. A number of journal and article quality measures and sample characteristics were found to be related to the reporting of nonresponse analyses.
