For Researchers: Key Facts at a Glance

Major problem in empirical research: the sample

It is often difficult for students, doctoral candidates and start-ups to find enough participants for their online studies. The search for survey participants is particularly tedious, especially outside of your own circle of acquaintances. The result: too small samples, rather homogeneous composition of the samples, study results with no conclusiveness and recommendations for action without empirical foundation.

Finding study participants beyond one's own circle of friends is difficult
Recruiting respondents through commercial panels is expensive
Groups on social networks only help to a certain extent when it comes to finding respondents

How SurveyCircle can help you

With SurveyCircle, you can find participants for surveys and online experiments outside your circle of acquaintances. The platform is based on mutual support: everyone participates in the studies of others.

What is so special about SurveyCircle?

Unlike survey groups in social networks, SurveyCircle is specifically designed to recruit study participants. The key to this is our point-based incentive system SmartRank^®. It makes sure you get help back when you help others.

This means that the more often you participate in other people's studies through SurveyCircle – and earn points and move up the Survey Ranking by doing so – the more people will participate in your study.

Who is SurveyCircle for?

For students, postgraduate students and other scientific staff (for online surveys of all kinds)
For start-ups and companies (concept tests, idea tests, usability tests, market research, etc.)
For everyone who is searching for survey respondents
For everyone who wants to support their friends and family with their research projects
For high school students and prospective students who want to know what you can do at the university in different courses of study
For all people interested in research

SmartRank^® makes mutual support easy and reliable

We want to reward everyone who is willing to support others. We also want to enable Survey Managers to find participants on their own. This is why we developed SmartRank – a social stimulus system for mutual support.

SmartRank makes sure that everyone is motivated to support those who have already helped many others. The best part: No one needs to fear any disadvantages by acting in a social way. In fact: Thanks to SmartRank maximum fairness for all is achieved when everyone does what's best for his or her own study – as if guided by an invisible hand.

Mutual Support – Simple and Fair

Survey Ranking
