Response rates of online surveys in published research: A meta-analysis

The response rates of online surveys were often examined in the literature by comparing to other modes of surveys. Other factors that impacted the rates included the funding status of a project, and the age and occupation of the participants.

⚡ This is an original paraphrased summary — not copied from the abstract. Full paper available at the source link below.

• 1 Questions regarding what constitutes a respectable response rate for online surveys in research remained unanswered.
• 2 To fill in the knowledge gap, we conducted a comprehensive search, screened 8672 studies, and examined 1071 online survey response rates reported in education-related research.
• 3 Our analyses showed the number of online surveys in published research grew steadily across the years.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
