On-line research

Two useful professional tools to create web surveys.

- Zoomerang - www.zoomerang.com - with a limited free access

- Survey Monkey - www.surveymonkey.com - providing a software able to create web surveys, allowing to anyone intersted the opportunity to have its own study.

One of the advantages of the extended use of Internet in various scientific domains is the possibility to acquire with very limited costs data relevant for the study. Once you set up the survey, you could distribute it to a wider list of contacts, space and geography being less important than before. The disadvantage could be in the sometimes randomly choice of the sample. If simply distributed on various lists or discussion groups, the surveys could be filled by people not necessarily included in your wishful sample.
