Could bots be contaminating your research?

Melissa Simone a PhD student from the University of Minnesota recently tweeted a very interesting thread, sharing her experience of problems she had with maintaining data integrity in her online survey.

We recommend you take a look.

My online #researchstudy was recently infiltrated by bots. I haven’t shared this story publicly because I felt a bit like it was my fault. I’m putting my pride aside because I think #dataintegrity is and will be a growing issue in survey data and is not discussed enough (1/n)
