在线招募和调查参与者的研究正在增加，但受到欺诈的影响，研究受访者-无论是否合格-多次参与。在线互联网研究可以为调查人员提供大样本量，并且具有成本效益。基于互联网的研究还在研究人员和参与者之间建立了距离，使参与者能够保持保密和/或匿名，从而自由和诚实地回答问题，而不必担心与其答案相关的耻辱。然而，受试者中欺诈活动的增加和重复发生给研究人员和机构审查委员会（IRB）带来了挑战。与参与者的距离，以及在线研究的潜在匿名性和便利性，使个人可以轻松地参与不止一次，从而扭曲结果和数据的整体质量。
Research that recruits and surveys participants online is increasing, but is subject to fraud whereby study respondents — whether eligible or ineligible — participate multiple times. Online Internet research can provide investigators with large sample sizes and is cost efficient. Internet-based research also provides distance between the researchers and participants, allowing the participant to remain confidential and/or anonymous, and thus to respond to questions freely and honestly without worrying about the stigma associated with their answers. However, increasing and recurring instances of fraudulent activity among subjects raise challenges for researchers and Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). The distance from participants, and the potential anonymity and convenience of online research allow for individuals to participate easily more than once, skewing results and the overall quality of the data.
