FASTER, CHEAPER, EASIER BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH ONLINE

One thing Decision Science News particularly enjoys about being at Yahoo! Research is the brilliant colleagues. This week, two of them, Winter Mason and Sid Suri, presented us with this manuscript which is a guide to conducting research on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.

Manuscript? Manuscript from heaven, we say, for here at DSN we are often being asked the ins and outs of this technology and now have a guide to link to. Read it now before it gets published:

    According to Mason & Suri (2010), Amazon’s mTurk requires prospective ‘requesters’ to have a US-based credit card or bank account.

    For those of us based in the UK/Europe, what options are there for getting around these “based in the US” requirements?
