Abstract:	This dissertation is dedicated to the application of evidence-based methods in survey research. Although survey research is a relatively young discipline, knowledge and contradictory findings abound in this field, as in other disciplines. So this dissertation will first provide an overview of evidence-based research and its necessity in the field of survey methodology. Afterwards the application of evidence-based methods in terms of experimental research and meta-analysis are demonstrated. Herewith the four research examples given are focusing on mobile response quality, web response mode comparison, cross-cultural online response behavior and interviewer training. This dissertation closes with an outlook on the application of evidence-based methods in survey methodology.
