- Abstract
The article discusses that survey research methods provide the only means to collect and analyze information for a wide range of purposes of both scholarly research and policy making for nation-building. This notion is recognized by scholars, government officials, and commercial interests in the developing countries. It also provides an overview of the major issues involved in conducting a survey or a research in the developing countries. The analysis of materials has three types of bias including sampling, measurement, and interviewer bias.
