A gap that I've come to notice recently in academic and market research -
There are a lot of independent research surveys and forms floating around but they mostly fail to get a lot of respondents even in specialised communities and groups because of survey fatigue.
People aren't sure if the data is being used for a good purpose or it's just another database creation exercise by commercial entities looking to profit from it.
If the survey respondents could be monetarily compensated, that might help. Not sure if anyone would help fund such surveys though, unless they are granted access to the research or can be benefited from it in some way.
Is it possible to bridge such gaps and accelerate surveys and research projects?
Back in 2008 there were platforms where one would be paid to take surveys. The number of surveys for Indians was very less but I made enough pocket money to buy 2 branded Tees.
I am not sure they exists now, even if they do I would not spend time there as I can earn more somewhere else
Those platforms basically aggregated paid market research. What I'm talking about is mostly students and independent researchers who don't have budgets to pay people for the survey.
