And perhaps most striking is that cost per quality respondent ranged from $4.99 for proprietary panels to $112.45 for aggregators. Quality variations far exceed price differences. Pre-print: osf.io/preprints/psya…

Attention scores ranged from ~40% (PrimePanels, Dynata) to ~75% (Prolific, CloudResearch filtered). Comprehension: ~40% for hybrid/aggregator panels vs 79-83% for proprietary. Open-ended response quality followed the same pattern across all six metrics.

Fraud in online samples is at an all-time high, and platform choice matters. This afternoon at @AAPOR, @andrew_j_gordon presents "Not All Samples Are Created Equal," the largest benchmarking study of data quality across providers. 🕓 4:00 PM 📍 Beaudry B, Lobby Floor #AAPOR26

Senior Researcher @orioljbosch shares why @AAPOR is such an exciting moment for the field and for the Prolific team. Coming up today: @andrew_j_gordon presents the most comprehensive comparison of online sample data quality to date. #AAPOR26

High-quality human data matters now more than ever. Meet Tim and the rest of the Prolific team at booth #105 if you're still at #AAPOR26. We've been discussing best practices in online research and our fraud prevention tools. Stop by, we'd love to hear from you!

Prolific, a fast-growing Irish-founded company which has developed an online platform to gather data to train AI models, is set to surpass $500 million (€428 million) in annualised revenue this month. businesspost.ie/tech/irish-fou…

Be sure to say hello to the Prolific team at booth #105 if you're at @AAPOR this week! We're available throughout the conference to show you how we uphold online data quality, support longitudinal research, and tackle the growing challenge of survey fraud. #AAPOR26

Can AI replace human respondents? At @AAPOR, @andrew_j_gordon presented a benchmark of synthetic survey data against real human polling across multiple question domains, demographic subgroups, and levels of specification. More from Andrew this Friday on sample data quality.

We had live jazz, casino tables, flappers, and bright minds in one room! Thanks to everyone who joined us - we’d say more, but you know the rules. ✨

Last night we hosted a speakeasy happy hour with @OutsetAI in San Francisco 🇺🇸 The event brought together attendees from @JoinLearners Research Week and from across the Bay Area. 50+ guests from @jpmorgan, @Google, @AnthropicAI, @Uber, and more.

🚢 New product updates have dropped, designed to take the operational weight off your shoulders. Longitudinal projects, multimodal data capture, CLI, Participant Group Hub upgrades, and more. Full roundup → prolific.com/resources/what…

@rebecca_ryder21 That's wonderful, congrats Rebecca! 💙

In love with my new car. Huge thanks to @Prolific academic and the universities and researchers who took a chance on me. Those studies helped fund this. The hard work pays off.

Our team will be at booth #105 throughout the conference where you can learn about our AI detection tools and how we can best support your research. See you soon! #AAPOR26

Andrew is also joined by Stephanie Eckman and Frauke Kreuter in the opening day workshop "Human-Centered Data Collection for Machine Learning: Lessons from Survey Research." This workshop applies established principles from survey methodology to improve data labeling practices.
