Crowdsourcing sites like Amazon Mechanical Turk, CrowdFlower, Upwork, TaskRabbit, among others, have given researchers access to a large participant pool that operates around the clock. As a result, behavioral researchers in academia have turned to crowdsourcing sites in large numbers. Moreover, websites like eBay, Yelp and Reddit have become places where researchers can conduct field experiments. Companies like Microsoft, Facebook, Google and Yahoo! conduct hundreds of randomized experiments on a daily basis. We may be rapidly reaching a point where most behavioral experiments will be done online.<\/p>\n<p>The main purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers conducting behavioral experiments online to share new results, methods and best practices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Basic Information<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Submission Deadline<\/strong>: December 30, 2015<br \/>\n<strong>Notification Date<\/strong>: February 2, 2016<br \/>\n<strong>Workshop Date<\/strong>: TBA but between April 11 and 13th, 2016.<br \/>\n<strong>Cocktails<\/strong>: At the Bar<br \/>\n<strong>Location<\/strong>: Montreal, Canada.
