Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

I just skipped the fact check image ones. They seemed like more work for the same pay rate as the regular image ones.

Thanks, at least I'm not the only one.

I have a new (to me anyway) style of AI task from a different researcher on my dashboard today. Its on the more lucrative side once you get the hang of it - its $8 per task and I think you can do up to 20 at an average of 15minutes per task. Worth checking to see if you have it. If you're super efficient you can hit the elusive $30 per hour again.

I'm a self-employed freelancer, so this suits (some days) being able to dedicate a few hours at a time to surveys that are lucrative when they pop up. Doesn't always work that way of course, as I work set hours for some clients and have deadlines for other work of course, but on the days when I don't have a hard deadline, if some high paying repeat-submission tasks appear, I can often arrange my time to do them. Before the various AI studies appeared on Prolific, I was averaging around £60 a month for several years.

Not seen this on mine unfortunately, unless I've filtered it out because of the type of survey it is.

Just had a new criteria from a researcher - over 95% approved score on prolific.

Not seen that before.

Ridiculous. I have just looked at my statistics - and out of 3,778 in total, only around 90% are approved. The rest are:

3 awaiting review
5 rejected
352 returned
29 timed out
24 screened out

The researcher doesn't know what they are talking about, and I would report them to Prolific.

elsien

I was actually reading it the other way to you - no more than 5% rejections. I wasn’t taking the returns et cetera, into account.

Although if you calculate the approved ones out of the total number which does include the returns, et cetera, it’s about 89% and I still got paid so who knows what they’re talking about?

They are not going to be much use as an academic or researcher if they can't define their terms appropriately 😕
