ProÂlifÂic helps researchers around the world find parÂticÂiÂpants for online studÂies. It is taiÂlored for sciÂenÂtifÂic research, highÂly scalÂable, and can flexÂiÂbly allow researchers to recruit any tarÂget demoÂgraphÂics. In this talk, cofounder Katia will disÂcuss the varÂied chalÂlenges when recruitÂing parÂticÂiÂpants online, and introÂduce ProÂlifÂic, which offers soluÂtions to many of these chalÂlenges. She will also disÂcuss some difÂferÂences between runÂning lab and online studÂies and how to design online studÂies wiseÂly in order to colÂlect high qualÂiÂty data and keep parÂticÂiÂpants hapÂpy. FinalÂly, she will reflect on how the above conÂsidÂerÂaÂtions inform Prolific’s misÂsion to make online data colÂlecÂtion trustworthy.
