Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

  • I've had a bit of time off Prolific because I've been recovering from surgery but this month so far has been decent compared to the last few in terms of surveys available when I actually have time to do them. Lots of AI video and image comparisons but I find that as soon as I do one of them (even if there are dozens on the dashboard with loads of places letf), the rest have disappeared by the time I finish the first. They do often come back at various points but the same thing every time. Bit frustrating as I can't just dedicate chunks of time to work through a bunch as used to be the case.

  • Could someone point me to a, FAQ where I can learn about doing surveys for income, please? I'm a newbie and don't want to read through 1112 pages in this thread! :)

    Cheers!

  • @Slinky the Factuality onboarding ones? I think they have gone - I did the 3 qualifiying studies last week and got into production and got as far as downloading the extension, but from what I could tell from Reddit there were loads of issues getting the production work to load, so I decided to leave it until after the weekend when I was away but it doesn't seem to be there at all now.

    Just did an AI speech naturalness comparison one - technical hitch which meant that I couldn't submit some options. It gave me a completion code but is only showing that I did 16/18 - messaged the researcher but they never answer.

    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have not could of.
  • Anyone getting loads of the AI web app comparison ones? There have been over 40 of them showing all morning for me. $20 an hour so decently paid but not sure how many I will be able to do before my head explodes 😐️ I've done 3 so far this morning. Might try and get a couple more done this afternoon because you just never know how long they will last.

    Yes. Loads showing. I'm hoping they'll still be there later when I have time to sit & do them. They make me so tired though

    Are those the ones that show up as taking up to an hour and a half?

    I’ve been put off by that but if you can cut them short at any point like that could work for me.

  • Yes - the ones that say up to 1 hour 15 mins are dynamic - I did some the other day and the individual ones didn't take me that long (maybe four or five in the time) but I can't vouch that today's batch will be the same!
