One such data collection methodology implemented widely across parallel fields is crowdsourcing: the process of gathering information, or input, from large numbers of people, either for payment or not, online. In this research note, we present a brief introduction to crowdsourcing, highlight a popular platform for gathering samples online, Prolific, and present four studies conducted by the research team to demonstrate the unique benefits and challenges of crowdsourcing samples online for research on violent extremism. date: 2024 date_type: published publisher: Informa UK Limited official_url: https://doi.org/10.1080/09546553.2022.2145193 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2017778 doi: 10.1080/09546553.2022.2145193 lyricists_name: Clemmow, Caitlin lyricists_name: Gill, Paul lyricists_name: Rottweiler, Bettina lyricists_name: Schumann, Sandy lyricists_id: CCLEM15 lyricists_id: PGILL80 lyricists_id: BROTT73 lyricists_id: SSCHU72 actors_name: Gill, Paul actors_id: PGILL80 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: 758834 [European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union] full_text_status: public publication: Terrorism and Political Violence volume: 36 number: 3 pagerange: 267-282 issn: 0954-6553 citation: Clemmow, Caitlin; van der Vegt, Isabelle; Rottweiler, Bettina; Schumann, Sandy; Gill, Paul; (2024) Crowdsourcing Samples for Research on Violent Extremism: A Research Note.
