One Danish survey by Gunther Eysenbach (2007) found that the online survey received a 6% higher response rate than its classic paper counterpart. I completely agree with the thesis that online surveys are an effective form of gathering data from the target group.
Assumptions that online surveys can significantly compete and even outclass their paper counterparts. Although pencil surveys probably always will be an emergency solution according to Carlos Mendes (2018). in In this essay, I will mainly consider the workload that the researcher spends on preparing the survey and the potential benefits. Arguments such as conversion from a survey, calculated by the respondent’s response rate, are paramount. Time and subsidized measures are important factor. The researchers (Kenny, 2005) & (Burdock, 2005) in their works came to the same conclusion that online surveys are characterized by a significantly lower cost of obtaining respondents’ answers than their paper versions. (Barker cited in J. McDonald 2015) stated that the use of online surveys in large-scale quantitative research is an alternative. However, he pointed out that it is worth securing research using two simultaneously available methods, giving the respondents a choice of suitable forms. Also (Burdock, cited in Eysenbach 2007), pointed to the rightness of choosing online surveys as those that reduce the cost of conducted research. Time act a critical role in many studies. Three scientists C. Mendes (2018) & Jim McDonald and Claudia Richardson (2015) agree that online surveys are ahead of paper surveys when it comes to getting respondents’ answers. Surveys published via a link sent by e-mail or published on social networking sites receive immediate results. Speed, flexibility, and accessibility of online surveys is certainly their greatest advantage. There are many more positives Carlos Mendes (2018) articulated that immediate and pre-analyzed results obtained in real-time, obtained thanks to specialized software, make online surveys superior to paper surveys.

‘In the modern era, online questionnaires are much more effective than the traditional paper versions. To what extent do you agree with this statement?
According to Gunther Eysenbach (2007), One of the Danish surveys reveal 6% higher response rate in online surveys versus classic paper-pen questionnaires. Online survayes can be beneficial both for paricipants and those who conduct research. I completely agree with formulated statement. Aim of article is to convince reader that online questionaries are more effective compare to old fassion paper questionaries.
Before we move to meritum it must be stated clearly that both online and classic surveys screening methods are almost the same. The main difference is a channel of communication, the way how the survey dish is served. Online surveys usually, do home delivery. With the classic one, we send a survey by post injecting trojan horses into participant’s mailbox. Moreover, we try to force him to participant in our dirty experiment, and if we succeed… Then, our victim will even pay for post stamp just to send us our highly desirable results. Sound ridiculous? Let’s pull out all of the advantages of online questionaries and rebut old fashion paper ones. In pandemic reality we can forget about other forms of screening. We are forced to use online questionaries. Govermenant accuse us for biotherrorism just becouse we did not wear face mask
Firstly let’s consider the most valuable resources like time and costs. (Kenny, 2005) & (Burdock, 2005) pointed out that online survey questionaries reveal that virtual surveys have significantly lower costs per gather data. Barker, 2013 claimed that resign from paper questionnaires is temptation for researches however both type of questionary may be used if there is reason to do it. Timing play important role for success in any kind of research. Execute research project on social media platforms and mail may be done in minutes versus days in classic paper questionarriess. Gathering data and valuating answers in real time is beneficial and more convince than waiting for participants answers. . C. Mendes (2018) & Jim McDonald and Claudia Richardson (2015). In current COVID-19 reality option of executing classic type survey may be questionableThose data can be processed in real time by software and present clear results Carlos Mendes (2018). Lack of those tools and necessity to gather it is main disadvantage of paper based questionnaires.

Expanding role of internet change the methods how we can gather data from our participants.
Carlos Mendes (2018) pointed out that we should consider the paper survey questionery for people visually impaired. In some cases it may be a solution. The facts are that well prepared online survey can resolve this issue. Text to speech systems are wide available and can be adopted to read out all of the survey content even our participant is blind. Paper have tendency to keep silent. Computer or smartphone can read laud the content and help with navigation. Carlos Mendes (2018) insinuate that for vision impaired people physical questionary may be better solution. Common sense tell us that we should chose the tools appropriate to our sample group. Almost each today computer offer “high contrast option” or “invert option” in order to maxymalise reading. Also the font can be zoom without any effort providing even single word on our screen. Metioned previously ‘text to speech’ metodes are common tools for people visually impaired or blind. Paper have no ability to scale the font electronic devices do. If we have participant impaired in this kind of way we should provide different communication channel telephonic survey. Idea that we can prepared better questionary for visual impaired person and those kind of questionery can be better than survey prepared seems to be disscusable. Role of researcher should be gather data and overcome any potential obstacles participant can face. For visually impaired person appropriate metode is to provide audiotory aid like a part of classic survey.
Dissadvantyges of paper based survey for researches are profound. Answers on papers sheet may be not easy to read. Therefore survey processing time may harass final results. Open ended question are valuable source of information under condition that we can read it. Results usually are input to spread scheet.

. For example, as Halestorm (2012) identifies, if one is conducting research on patients in assisted living facilities with a target population of seniors with little to no access to computers, paper surveys are necessary. Additionally, respondents in rural, remote locations may have online accessibility issues. In short, examine your target population carefully.
The response rates in most studies so far, however, have been reported to be lower in Web-based questionnaires than in paper-based questionnaires (Kenny, 2005),
Researcher should find the most beneficial method allowing to gather the data from participants. In modern time increasing role of conducting surveys online. Online surveys can be beneficial in many ways compere to classic paper questionaries. The most obvious advantages for researchers is efficiency in gathering data and ease with analysis. Some of online scripts have prebuild futures help to present survey result without any additional afford. Online questionaries can have interactive form and may contain audiovisual aid to engage participant. Rapid distribution and ease with reaching target group is undeniable advantegous of online research. Halestorm (2012) claim the main argument against conducting research online versus classic paper is limited access to internet. However, in 2021 most of people are coveraged by mobile network smartphones become popular and each person can answer on survey if they will to. Quantity of people IT impaired will systematicly decrease even in seniors demographic group. (Barker, 2013)

Conceptions like satellite internet is not longer Sciance Fiction screenplay those satelites already fly over our heads. Halestorm (2012) pointed out that lack access to internet in rural areas should be consider as a threat for online survays. This statement expired like many other ideas in our internet reality. Under those circumstances owever young adolescence may one day learn from history books what was paper never holding even scrap of this material in hand.
(Pavlov & Kane, 2006) argue that mixed-types both online and classic survey can be adopt in some of cases.

Relative ease with distribution and reaching target group is main benefit of online survays. There are no limitation to prepare the same kind of survey both online and in classic form.

Text 1 – Carlos Mendes (2018) Research Methods for Under-Graduate Students, p.69
When the concept of speed is considered, paper surveys are notorious for taking a good amount of time to execute. Whether administration is in-person, mailed, or sent as an email attachment, speed is always going to be a factor. Time for the respondent to complete the survey and time to mail it back is going to increase the time needed to complete the survey research process. Online Surveys, however, can collect data in very little time. With many online survey software solutions, creating these is simple and can be administered to your population via email or social media networks within minutes. Due to this rapid distribution, your sample population can respond almost immediately, and data is collected automatically. Online survey software also has more advanced logic features that are not available in paper surveys and in this way, allow much more flexibility. Although paper-based surveys certainly still have their place in survey research, and always will, continued advances in technology may increasingly diminish that demand.
Text 2 – Jim McDonald and Claudia Richardson (2015) A Mixed Model Approach, p.22
While there are many issues to consider when planning a quantitative research project, the needs of the population should be the main consideration. The target participants may prefer just online surveys or just paper surveys, and sometimes there may be a need for a mixed-mode for a diverse population (Barker, 2013). This means both paper and online surveys for the same survey research project. The appeal of saving money with online surveys is tempting, but if that survey is not reaching a target audience that prefers a paper survey, the researcher many be wasting their time and efforts. Non-tech savvy respondents may not have access to a computer and therefore not have access to the Internet to complete an online survey via email or on social media networks. For example, as Halestorm (2012) identifies, if one is conducting research on patients in assisted living facilities with a target population of seniors with little to no access to computers, paper surveys are necessary. Additionally, respondents in rural, remote locations may have online accessibility issues.
Text 3 – Gunther Eysenbach (2007) Web-Based Versus Traditional Paper Questionnaires, p.1
Web-based questionnaires have been shown to lower data collection costs (Burdock, 2005), which is attractive especially in large population-based surveys. The response rates in most studies so far, however, have been reported to be lower in Web-based questionnaires than in paper-based questionnaires (Kenny, 2005), but the opposite has also been reported (Pavlov & Kane, 2006). In a questionnaire survey on patients’ experiences with cancer care, no significant difference was observed between the response rates of a mailed paper questionnaire only (64.0%) and those of an online questionnaire followed by a paper reminder (60.5%). A Danish questionnaire survey reported a statistically significantly higher total response rate in a paper-and-pencil group (76.5%) than in a group with access to the questionnaire via log-on to the Internet (64.2%). A study comparing mixed-mode (paper or online) and Web-based questionnaires exploring fertility issues among female childhood cancer survivors found a 6% higher participation rate in the Web-based mode (89%) than in the mixed mode (83%).

First, let’s focus on validating the assumptions that online surveys can significantly compete and even outclass their paper counterparts. In this essay, I will mainly consider the workload that the researcher spends on preparing the survey and the potential benefits. Arguments such as conversion from a survey, calculated by the respondent’s response rate, are paramount. Time and subsidized measures are an important factor.

W tym eseju w głównej mierze będę brał pod uwagę nakład pracy jaki badacz wydatkuje na przygotowanie ankiety oraz potencjalne benefity. Argumenty takie jak konwersja z ankiety liczona współczynnikiem odpowiedzi respondentów jest wartością nadrzędną. Istotnym współczynnikiem jest czas oraz subsydiowane środki. Badacze (Kenny, 2005) & (Burdock, 2005) w swoich pracach doszli do tożsamej konkluzji iż ankiety online odznaczają się znacząco niższym kosztem pozyskania danych respondentów niż ich papierowe wersje. Barker, 2013 cited in J. McDonald (2015) określił że użycie ankiet online w szeroko zakrojonych badaniach ilościowch jest istotną alternatywą jednakże asekuracyjnie warto zabezpieczyć badania za pomocą dwóch symultanicznie dostępnych metod dając osobom badanym wybór dogodnej formy. Także (Burdock, 2005) cytowany w Gunther Eysenbach (2007) wskazał na słuszność wyboru ankiet online jako tychy które obniżają koszty przeprowadzonych badan. Czas w wielu badaniach odgrywa krytyczną rolę. Trójka naukowców C. Mendes (2018) & Jim McDonald and Claudia Richardson (2015) jest zgodna co do tego iż internetowe ankiety wyprzedzają ich papierowe wersje w zakresie uzyskiwania odpowiedzi respondentów. Ankiety opublikowane za pomocą linka wysłane mailem lub też opublikowane na stronach portali społecznościowych otrzymują natychmiastowe wyniki. Szybkość, elastyczność, oraz docieralność ankiet internetowych jest z pewnością ich największym zaletą. Pozytwów jest znacznie więcej Carlos Mendes (2018) wyartykułował iż natychmiastowe i preanalizowane wyniki otrzymywane w czasie rzeczywistym otrzymywane dzięki wyspecjalizowanyemu oprogramowaniu stanowią o wyższości ankiet online nad papierowymi.

Research is the process of design and conduct analysis to validate claims. The most popular Oxford English Dictionary defines the word in the context of gathering information from participants like a series of questions. Although the short explanation does not explore wider context it how complexity influences that word. Questionaries are structured to obtain quantitative and qualitative results (Creswell, 2008). Zegret et al. (2016) pointed out that those documents may have different purposes and goals. Research activities are associated with university faculties; business & social science according to (Dingle, 2019). Expanding role of the internet become a threat for classic paper questionaries. However, each method has their futures. Part of each research is investigation ideas making observations validating novel theories and concepts. The process of study research itself is named meta-research. Research is the wide interdisciplinary conception of validating scientific claims.
