It’s easy to think of online studÂies as a magÂic box, with data appearÂing from the aether. In our research we’ve been tryÂing to underÂstand the peoÂple who make online studÂies posÂsiÂble and how they go about their work. In this talk I will reflect on what we’ve learnt about our parÂticÂiÂpants’ workÂing conÂtexts and the conÂstraints placed on them by the tasks we set and the nature of the platÂforms we use. These shape how peoÂple behave and, in turn, the results that we obtain.
