Concepts and Methods

This chapter provides an overview of the Changing Academic Profession (CAP) survey methodology. Included are a discussion of sampling, data collection, and response rates; a detailed exposition of the survey items related to internationalization; and an analysis of data quality (including item nonresponse) organized both by item and country. The chapter provides a nuanced overview of the quality of the data upon which the remaining chapters are based.
