Good science needs properly powered studies.  Ten years into the replication crisis, we know this more than ever.  Behavioural science can’t progress while we have serious doubts about the generalisability of our findings. We know part of the solution is larger...
So you want to add a bit of coding magic to your experiment, but don’t know how to begin? We are here to help you get started! We all know that Gorilla doesn’t require you to know how to code, but sometimes you want to add a little something extra to your experiment....

The Replication Crisis is the great enemy of behavioural scientists everywhere. More and more, we are finding that previous studies are either incredibly challenging or impossible to reproduce. But can the internet solve some of the challenges presented by this...
Are you confident your online experiment will get you the data quality you need? Check out these top three considerations when piloting your study. At BeOnline 2020 Emily Breese gave an insightful talk about piloting research. An often overlooked element of the...
Has your research stalled? Find out how researchers have liberated their lab with rapid project grants! The past year has been a difficult time for behavioural science research. No longer being able to work face-to-face with participants meant a lot of research was...

First year psychology undergrads at a poster session. They’re in small groups and presenting a small research project that they’ve created and recruited participants for. They’ve even interpreted the data that an R script has extracted for them. Oh, and all this has...
Some researchers have resisted the move to online research over the last few years, but the COVID crisis has forced many to switch to online methods. Taking research online brings many benefits, that may cause researchers to think twice before automatically reverting...
COVID-19 has disrupted doctoral training programmes. But at least in the behavioural sciences students can continue their primary research online. Phew. A big issue facing behavioural science PhDs The COVID-19 pandemic has had massive implications for doctoral...
Are you curious about the timing accuracy of your online experiments? Online stimulus and response timing is good enough for a wide range of behavioural research. However, there are some quirky combinations to watch out for. We also make recommendations of how to...
Traditionally, most behavioural research is done in laboratory settings. However, in recent years, the popularity of online research has been growing, with more and more departments and labs creating and testing using online platforms. Researchers are often nervous...
Looking for a good science book to read? There are many excellent books about science out there, so we've created a collection of science books recommended by our users! The Improbability Principle: Why coincidences, miracles and rare events happen all the time...
"Probably the ‘I have no idea what I’m doing’ dog. Its such an accurate representation of what research is like, but no one really admits to it!" Alex Jones  @AlexJonesPhD "I don’t really have a favourite meme, but I really like the xkcd comics (and the related What...
We understand that many users can be worried about bots taking part in the questionnaires, tasks, and experiments. We've collated some great articles that explain many asked about questions about bots - the why, how, and where? SurveyBots and How To Prevent Them -...
Today many experimental psychologists and other behavioral scientists turn to task and experiment builders to help them create experimental protocols. But many don’t. They still prefer to spend the time writing their experiments in code. So if you’re still writing...
