Like snowball sampling, network sampling utilizes a "word of mouth" approach of acquiring participants. Those who are originally recruited suggest further participants. This method allows researchers to access populations that are not easily identifiable, are small in number, private, poorly organized or socially marginalized. Examples of such populations would be sexual minorities, drug users, etc.

The advantage of network sampling is that these hard-to-reach populations are penetrated and recruitment is fairly convenient and inexpensive for the researcher. Most research methods experts find that network sampling is just as effective as other, more random methods and rarely leads to validity or reliability errors.

Are the sampling techniques the same for solid liquids and gases?

No, sampling techniques differ for solid, liquid, and gas samples. For solids, techniques like grab sampling or core sampling are commonly used. Liquids can be sampled using methods like grab sampling, pump sampling, or composite sampling. Gases are typically sampled using techniques like grab sampling, passive sampling, or active sampling using pumps or sorbent tubes.
