Abstract:	Not to be confused with multinational surveys in which similar, but not necessarily exactly the same, information is collected in various countries and then comparisons attempted, international surveys have standardization at every step to ensure comparability of results among participating countries. International surveys have become more popular over the years, especially on the education front, and include surveys such as TIMSS, PISA, IALS, and PIRLS. International surveys on other topics include the European Social Survey, European Values Study, and International Crime Victim Surveys. Comparability of results is impacted by sampling and weighting processes. Embedded in these dimensions are the usual challenges of frame construction and population coverage, identification of stratification variables and size measures, and weighting processes. More practical challenges involve communication---such as various languages converted to English---pitfalls and potential of email, and various levels of technology experience.
