The Evans Data Corporation International Panel of Developers
When conducting primary research, it is important to recruit panel participants from unbiased sources. Since 1998, Evans Data Corporation has maintained a proprietary neutral panel of developers, ensuring that survey results truly represent the global developer population. Our reports are not only in-depth but also accurate and unbiased. All our research conforms to established principles endorsed by the Marketing Research Association, ESOMAR, and CASRO.
More than 100 individual sources are used to recruit Evans Data Corporation panelists, and the following principles are strictly adhered to and consistently applied:
- No vendor lists have ever been used in Evans Data Corporation subscription surveys nor added to the panel.
- No platform-specific lists have ever been used in any Evans Data Corporation general syndicated surveys nor added to the panel.
- No language-specific lists have ever been used in any Evans Data Corporation syndicated surveys nor added to the panel.
By following these principles, Evans Data Corporation provides the most diverse and unbiased sample available. The Evans Data Corporation International Panel of Developers includes more than 185,000 professional developers in more than 80 countries worldwide. This panel represents the finest example of an unbiased and representative sample available.
