Prolific

[HenryMehta]

@HenryMehta adding on to this, the other change we need to make for prolific is that we need to be able to capture the participant's Prolific ID. This can either be done by querying the participant to enter a text string of the prolific ID, or the Prolific ID can be passed through as a parameter that we capture when the participant clicks the study link in Prolific. Researchers would be able to enable this functionality upon checking a box in the 'Create study' box that asks 'Would you like to run this study on prolific and collect participants' Prolific ID's?'

The instructions regarding how long the participant has to complete the survey should NOT be altered for prolific.

@benjamindemayo When the parent has completed the study I need to give them a code which they can enter inter prolific to claim their reward. Where do I get it?

[benjamindemayo]

I don't think we need to give them a code if you redirect them to the correct URL: https://researcher-help.prolific.co/hc/en-gb/articles/360009223173-Recording-participants-as-complete-on-Prolific

Quote from that page: "The will look something like: https://app.prolific.co/submissions/complete?cc=I2PWSFRG where 'I2PWSFRG' is the completion code."

This indicates that I need to know how I obtain the completion code

[HenryMehta]

@benjamindemayo , @vmarchman This is now available to test. It should work on all old forms and Spanish/English with split background info.

When you add or update a Study there is now a field "Capture the Prolific Id of the participant?". You will need this ticked and you will need the field above "Provide redirect button at completion of study" ticked with a redirect url in the field that appears. Something like "https://app.prolific.co/submissions/complete?cc=I2PWSFRG" as will be provided by Prolific.

When the "Capture the Prolific Id of the participant" is ticked, the Add Participants modal will have an extra link, "Prolific Link". I cannot test this with Prolific and I need you to test it but I believe if you copy this link into Prolific for the specific study it will replace {{%PROLIFIC_PID%}} with their actual prolific id. When the participant then clicks the link it will auto-populate the Prolific Pid field. The field remain editable should it be wrong.

You can test this without Prolific by replacing {{%PROLIFIC_PID%}} with some random string.

Testing on this is really important because it has impacted many elements. You need to test a simple example, but also when number of participants has exceeded the study number and both old and new style forms

Hi Henry,

Thanks so much for your work on this. It looks like it's really close to being ready to go.

Here are a few things I noticed: 1) The "Click to complete study" link on the last page of the survey is a little easy to miss - could we make it bigger/differently colored/its own button? 2) The redirect functionality works well as far as I can tell, though I haven't tested Spanish yet. 3) Do you think it would be useful to also include 'STUDY_ID' and 'SESSION_ID' as talked about here? : https://researcher-help.prolific.co/hc/en-gb/articles/360009220993-Recording-participants-Prolific-IDs-in-your-study-survey 4) It looks like the 'Prolific Link' in the Add Participants modal doesn't link to a new administration, but rather to the researcher dashboard for the study (i.e., when this URL is clicked, it doesn't direct to a new_parent page). Perhaps there is something that needs to be amended with that link?

-Benny

@benjamindemayo

1. Amended to show as a red button
2. ok
3. There is no benefit to having the Session or Study Id from my point of view. The Study is within the link elsewhere and we do not know the session id until it has been created which is after they have completed the first page of background information as per a previous request.
4. That isn't meant to take you to an administration which is why it sends you back to the Researcher interface. That link contains a variable for Prolific to pass the Profilic Id across. It is there for you to copy into Prolific so that participants can link directly from there and their Id will populate automatically. Did you test this and did it work because I cannot test this.

[benjamindemayo]

Hi Henry, thanks for clarifying - I see where I was mistaken. Yes, the autofilling works when I try replacing {{%PROLIFIC_PID%}} with a random string. Haven't tried with Prolific yet nor am I quite sure how to but I will figure it out right now and get back to you.

I've just realised the prolific id isn't in the researcher data download. Do you want it there?

[benjamindemayo]

Hi Henry, it looks to be working in prolific upon a quick test. It's kind of late so I haven't tested thoroughly but I will in the morning (I haven't looked at data download yet). I got the picture below when I copied and pasted the link into prolific and then used their 'preview' function to see what it will look like as a participant, so that looks great.

Yes, I think it would be good to have the prolific id in the data download, thanks.

@vmarchman do you think we need to further tweak Henry's red button at the end to say something like "Click here to return to prolific" or something like that? [image: Screenshot 2020-05-04 23.52.48.png]

The redirect URL could be used for other redirects which is why I've avoided specifying Prolific

[benjamindemayo]

Ok, agreed.

Prolific Id added to download (if prolific boolean ticked). Will be available to test in 20 mins.
