| contents | Survey Research in Times of Big Data Pablo Cabrera-Álvarez Sociología big data data linkage social media data Survey methodology administrative data Although surveys still dominate the research landscape in social sciences, alternative data sources such as social media posts or GPS data open a whole range of opportunities for researchers. In this scenario, some voices advocate for a progressive substitution of survey data. They anticipate that big data, which is cheaper and faster than surveys, will be enough to answer relevant research questions. However, this optimism contrasts with all the quality and accessibility issues associated with big data such as the lack of coverage or data ownership and restricted accessibility. The aim of this paper is to explore how, nowadays, the combination of big data and surveys results in significant improvements in data quality and survey costs. 2022 artículo científico 1139-5737 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=297170952003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2971/297170952003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2971/297170952003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2971/297170952003/297170952003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2971/297170952003/movil https://doi.org/10.5944/empiria.53.2022.32611 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2971 EMPIRIA.
