Anyone happen to know the exact IRB information for a study on Prolific:

Price & Preference Mini Study (Bonus Eligible)
By berkeley.edu

A short online survey (4-5 minutes) about everyday product choices. You’ll view a few brief product information and indicate your preferences. This study includes a lottery bonus of up to $13 for a subset of participants.

Do you all save the page as a PDF or something? Guess I need to start doing this because the amount of bad actors has exploded recently.

 

I usually just take a screenshot or two of the consent form/ IRB info as I scroll through. That way if I have an issue, I can always go back and find it. I do the same with attention checks just in case. Not the most efficient method, but I typically avoid any studies that I feel uncertain about or that are from .cn or .in accounts, so I don't have a rejection on there yet. I also search the prolific subreddit for unfamiliar researcher's names, and that has saved me quite a few times.

Why did you get rejected from Berkeley? And did you talk to someone that's running the account yet? https://cphs.berkeley.edu/ is probably what you're looking for, but they run so many studies, it might be hard to narrow down the one you took without the protocol number or whatever it's called. You can always google IRB contact info for Universities in the future too.

 

I didn't get rejected I was asked to return because they claimed they got no data from me when I know I did it and left detailed feedback and even reported the survey to prolific as soon as I completed it for various reasons. We went back and forth and I eventually escalated to Prolific and then I contacted the IRB who asked me for specifics.

 

That stinks. Any chance it was related to the cloudflare outage the other day? I couldn't start/ complete a couple surveys because of that. Best of luck getting it figured out.
