We also invite submissions concerning the implementation of panel data collection, e.g. questionnaire construction, fieldwork monitoring, use of paradata, adaptive and responsive panel designs, interviewer training and assignment, post collection processing, and editing. We specifically welcome papers that implement field experiments in ongoing panel surveys to address the topics mentioned above. The special issue offers two different formats. Besides normal length articles of up to 10,000 words, we encourage the submission of shorter research notes of no more than 5,000 words. Please, consult the information for authors on the mda website for additional information on submission guidelines http://www.gesis.org/en/publications/journals/mda/authors/#c6599 Please submit your manuscript to mark.trappmann(a)iab.de.
