সারসংক্ষেপ	Online cluster sampling applies the classic cluster sampling logic to internet-based research: naturally occurring digital groups — such as online communities, email lists, forum memberships, or institutional user registries — serve as clusters, and selected clusters are surveyed in full or partially via web-based instruments. It offers a practical route to probability-based online samples when no complete list of individuals exists but lists of digital groups are accessible.	Online systematic sampling applies the classical every-k-th-element rule to digital survey contexts — selecting respondents from a web panel, membership database, or visitor stream at a fixed interval. It combines the operational simplicity of systematic sampling with the reach and speed of online data collection, producing a roughly representative sample without requiring complex randomisation infrastructure.
