The Future of Modes of Data Collection

This article reviews recent trends in modes of survey data col- lection, with a view to speculating on the future of survey modes. I dis- cuss the development of the idea of modes, review the many dimensions of mode, briefly review some of the research on mode differences, discuss recent developments in mixed mode surveys, and offer some thoughts on the likely future of modes of survey data collection.
