Online convenience sampling
Online convenience sampling is a non-probability technique in which participants are recruited via internet channels — survey platforms, social media, email lists, or research panels — simply because they are accessible and willing to respond. It is the online analogue of traditional convenience sampling, offering fast, low-cost data collection at the expense of known representativeness. It is among the most widely used approaches in social, behavioral, and health sciences research conducted through web-based surveys.
