Respondent Validation in Alchemer Surveys

Fuel Cycle has created a template survey for Alchemer that collects data on survey respondents and automatically analyzes survey responses through open-end text analysis. The goal is to Identify fraudulent survey respondents and non-legitimate or thoughtless survey responses through automatic open-ended quality checks. This ultimately provides more reliable data collection and saves time while cleaning data.

The survey template includes APIs that call to Research Defender’s market research database and analysis tools, and the survey collects data quality metrics based on RD’s analyses.

All these values are collected on an initial Screener Page. This page will appear as a standard survey page to respondents, with elements such as a survey introduction, a screening open-ended question, and any other questions as needed. This page will collect hidden respondent and open-ended quality metrics that will help us determine whether to terminate and disqualify that response through Skip/Disqualification logic, based on how those metrics fill in.

If you would like to add this to any survey, please contact your Fuel Cycle representative.

Once your rep adds the components to your survey, save the entire survey as an Alchemer template, so you can always copy over all hidden values, scripts, and default disqualifications.
