The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Online and Social Media Data As an Imperfect Continuous Panel Survey (2016, background): “Collectively this is called the total survey error, as defined in-depth in the literature [8,9].”
Survey-Based Cross-Country Comparisons Where Countries Vary in Sample Design: Issues and Solutions (2017, background): “All sources of error (coverage, sampling nonresponse, measurement, editing, etc) should be given due attention within a total survey error framework (Biemer, 2010: Groves and Lyberg, 2010) that recognises interactions and dependencies between the error sources.”
Dealing with nonresponse: Strategies to increase participation and methods for postsurvey adjustments (2014, background): “A survey error is defined as “the deviation of a survey response from its underlying true value” (Biemer, 2010: 817).”
Forecasting: theory and practice (2020, background): “The progressive higher impact of non-sampling errors (coverage issues, non-response bias, measurement error: Biemer, 2010) is, however, severely testing this approach.”
