Examples of using linked survey and digital trace data (DTD)

Understanding (Offline/Online) Society: Linking Survey and Digital Trace Data

Summary

While this project has primarily focused on methodological work - the exploration of the feasibility and development of robust approaches to collecting and linking survey and digital trace data (DTD) – it is important to demonstrate its ability to address academic and policy issues.

Here we collate examples of how data we have produced as part of our feasibility work have been applied to substantive research questions.
