***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** Dear Beth, we have a paper about the opportunities and -most of all- the dangers of collecting (ego- centered) social network data via web surveys: Matzat, U. , & Snijders, C. (in press). "Does the Online Collection of Ego-Centered Network Data reduce Data Quality? An Experimental Comparison." in: Social Networks. A pre-print is available on my homepage (and also on the journal website).
