Beginning on Feb. 13, the Harvard Program on Survey Research at IQSS will host "New Frontiers in Preventing, Detecting, and Remediating Fabrication in Survey Research." This conference is in collaboration with the New England Chapter of the American Association for Public Opinion Research and the American Statistical Association. Partial funding for this event is provided by the Eric C. Mindich Fund for conferences in experimental social science.
This mini-conference is part of a 2014-15 series of events and articles exploring new ideas and concepts in preventing, detecting, and remediating fabrication in survey research. The first event in this series, held in December 2014 by the Washington Statistical Society (WSS), focused on interviewer-level fabrication and also touched on evidence of apparent machine assisted fabrication. The Cambridge event will focus on detection of interviewer fabrication and falsification in international research settings. Another WSS event is planned for June. Finally, a session on fabrication will be presented at the Total Survey Error conference in Baltimore, MD, to be held in September 2015.
Event registration is open at the conference Eventbrite page.
