Online Systematic Sampling — Web-Based Interval Sampling

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.
