Question #1:
进行科学研究调查，在科学论文中survey和study是同义词吗?

alexcwlin comments:
Depending on the context, both 'study' and 'survey' involve looking at things carefully.
A 'study' aims at fact-finding while a 'survey' lead to forming an opinion.
Sample Sentences:
“Study”: Over a period of ten years, academic researchers at this university have studied behavioral patterns of voters in reaction to scandals of candidates.
“Study”:

“Survey”: During election times, researchers survey how voters react to scandals of candidates.
“Survey”:

So, at the risk of overgeneralizing, 'study' seems to be more in-depth than 'survey'.


Question #2:
Is 进行调查 implement / conduct / carry out / execute / do / make a survey
alexcwlin comment
Shouldn't 进行调查 be 'investigate, probe, look into, delve into'?
question:
我主要是想问一下我写的这些动词能不能搭配survey?
alexcwlin comments:
Yes, generally all of those verbs can go with 'survey', but you need the context to see if a certain one of those could be applied appropriately.
Normally you would say: He (conducted/did/made) a survey.
Or you say:
The consulting company designed, tested and (implemented/executed) a survey.
