Welcome!
Hi, everyone!
To kick this blog off, we've decided to tell you a little more about our project and where we are heading.
SocialSci started off as an invention of undergraduate researchers at Yale. We were tired of the current participant recruitment process and wanted to have the ability to reach a global population, not just the limited pool of college students who wandered over to our survey booths. Therefore, we started SocialSci with the hope of creating an online platform for scientists to reach participants for scientific surveys and in-lab studies.
We are working on some revolutionary technology that will enable us to provide an anonymous, honest, and payable group of participants online. We are also tying this pool to cutting-edge survey technology and real-time analytics (actual analytics like ANOVAs, chi-squared tests, and correlations in the browser). We hope to become an academic software power-house and to further science by bringing outdated methods up-to-speed and online.
If you have any questions, comments, ideas, concerns, poems or anything really to say we would love to hear from you.
Thanks for taking a look, and we hope SocialSci will evolve into a service you are excited to use!
Sincerely yours,
-The SocialSci Team
