This study provides a synopsis of the current fieldwork monitoring practices of large-scale surveys in Germany.
Based on the results of a standardized questionnaire, the study summarizes fieldwork monitoring indicators
used and fieldwork measures carried out by 17 large-scale social sciences surveys in Germany. Our descriptive
results reveal that a common set of fieldwork indicators and measures exist on which the studied surveys rely.
However, it also uncovers the need for additional design-specific indicators. Finally, it underlines the importance
of a close cooperation between survey representatives and fieldwork agencies to optimize processes in
fieldwork monitoring in the German survey context. The article concludes with implications for fieldwork
practice.
