Survey-based research has been, and will continue to be, essential in advancing theory and practice across several disciplines. However, publishing survey-based studies in top-ranking journals can be challenging. The main criticism often pertains to the validity of the insights provided by such studies. To be successful, researchers must adhere to the conditions that ensure a study's reliability and validity. This course aims to guide students through the process of developing high-quality survey research, particularly focusing on work targeted for publication in top-ranking journals. It will cover the entire journey from designing to publishing a survey-based study.
