近年来，土耳其机器人（MTurk）通过提供一种以前所未有的速度和效率收集行为数据的方法，彻底改变了社会科学。然而，MTurk并不打算成为一个研究工具，因此许多常见的研究任务很难实现，而且很耗时。TurkPrime被设计为一个研究平台，与MTurk集成，并支持社会和行为科学常见的任务。与MTurk一样，TurkPrime是一个基于互联网的平台，可以在任何浏览器上运行，不需要任何下载或安装。TurkPrime可以执行的任务包括：根据先前的参与情况排除参与者，纵向研究，在研究运行时对其进行更改，自动化审批流程，提高数据收集速度，发送批量电子邮件和奖金，加强与参与者的沟通，监控辍学率和参与率，提供增强的抽样选项等等。本文介绍了TurkPrime如何节省时间和资源，提高数据质量，并允许研究人员设计和实施以前很难或不可能在MTurk上进行的研究。TurkPrime是一个研究工具，旨在提高众包数据收集过程的质量。根据研究界的反馈，已经并将继续实施各种功能。TurkPrime是一个免费的研究平台。
In recent years, Mechanical Turk (MTurk) has revolutionized social science by providing a way to collect behavioral data with unprecedented speed and efficiency. However, MTurk was not intended to be a research tool, and many common research tasks are difficult and time-consuming to implement as a result. TurkPrime was designed as a research platform that integrates with MTurk and supports tasks that are common to the social and behavioral sciences. Like MTurk, TurkPrime is an Internet-based platform that runs on any browser and does not require any downloads or installation. Tasks that can be implemented with TurkPrime include: excluding participants on the basis of previous participation, longitudinal studies, making changes to a study while it is running, automating the approval process, increasing the speed of data collection, sending bulk e-mails and bonuses, enhancing communication with participants, monitoring dropout and engagement rates, providing enhanced sampling options, and many others. This article describes how TurkPrime saves time and resources, improves data quality, and allows researchers to design and implement studies that were previously very difficult or impossible to carry out on MTurk. TurkPrime is designed as a research tool whose aim is to improve the quality of the crowdsourcing data collection process. Various features have been and continue to be implemented on the basis of feedback from the research community. TurkPrime is a free research platform.
