TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - Crowdsourcing samples for research on violent extremism: a research note JO - Terrorism and political violence A1 - Clemmow, Caitlin A1 - van der Vegt, Isabelle A1 - Rottweiler, Bettina A1 - Schumann, Sandy A1 - Gill, Paul SP - 267 EP - 282 VL - 36 IS - 3 N2 - As research on violent extremism continues to progress beyond some of the field's earlier challenges, new ways of gathering primary source data are becoming increasingly popular. One such data collection methodology implemented widely across parallel fields is crowdsourcing: the process of gathering information, or input, from large numbers of people, either for payment or not, online. In this research note, we present a brief introduction to crowdsourcing, highlight a popular platform for gathering samples online, Prolific, and present four studies conducted by the research team to demonstrate the unique benefits and challenges of crowdsourcing samples online for research on violent extremism.
