近年来，通过网络平台招募受试者进行的在线实验数量大幅增加。当一个商业众包平台——亚马逊的土耳其机器人——基本上已经建立并主导了这个领域时，新的替代方案提供了明确针对研究人员的服务。在本文中，我们介绍了www.prolific.ac，并提出了它适合招收社会经济科学实验对象。在简要讨论了在线实验相对于实验室实验的主要优势和挑战后，我们追溯了平台的历史发展，介绍了其特点，并将其与不同类型的社会和经济实验的需求进行了对比。(C) 2017年作者。Elsevier B.V.出版
The number of online experiments conducted with subjects recruited via online platforms has grown considerably in the recent past. While one commercial crowdworking platform - Amazon's Mechanical Turk - basically has established and since dominated this field, new alternatives offer services explicitly targeted at researchers. In this article, we present www.prolific.ac and lay out its suitability for recruiting subjects for social and economic science experiments. After briefly discussing key advantages and challenges of online experiments relative to lab experiments, we trace the platform's historical development, present its features, and contrast them with requirements for different types of social and economic experiments.
