Discover how Netquest data is revolutionizing academic research through the experience of Dr. Melanie Revilla, a doctor in Survey Methodology.
Academic Collaboration with Netquest: A Vision from Experience
In a recent interview published on our Academics webpage, Melanie Revilla, a doctor from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, shared her experience working with Netquest. As Deputy Director of the Research and Expertise Centre for Survey Methodology (RECSM), she has collaborated with Netquest since 2012. She particularly highlights flexibility and the ability to operate in multiple countries—both in Europe, Latin America, and the United States—as key factors that have facilitated the development of her international research.
Advantages of Netquest Panels in International Research
One of the main advantages highlighted by the interviewee is the breadth and diversity of Netquest's panels. With over four million active panelists in some countries, Netquest offers unique opportunities to conduct transnational research with comparable samples across different countries. This capability is particularly valuable for studies requiring a specific target population.
