European Values Study (EVS) 2017: Method Report ; Documentation update related to the final data release, May 2022

Abstract

The EVS 2017 Method Report provides information on the survey implementation and fieldwork procedures in the participating countries. The report is based on the EVS 2017 Methodological Questionnaire which was provided as an online form on the myEVS portal designed during the SERISS-Project (Synergies for Europe's Research Infrastructures in the Social Sciences). All national teams were asked to fill in the main characteristics of the methodology and data collection after fieldwork was completed (see EVS 2017 Guidelines, App A5: Fieldwork and reporting). The Method Report consists of two main sections providing metadata on study scope, principal investigator, funding agency, data depositor, data access and version, sampling procedure, mode of data collection, fieldwork procedure, and quality control operations. The study description of the integrated datasets in section one contains more general information and summarized country-specific information. Section two includes country reports on the 34 national datasets providing comprehensive country-specific information.
