Population Recruitment Strategies in the Age of Bots: Insights from the What Is on Your Plate Study
Remote data collection tools were critical for meeting recruitment goals and ensuring our data authenticity.

Widely available, built-in tools (e.g., reCAPTCHA) are helpful but are insufficient alone. Customized solutions like our automated systems may be critical for future researchers to maintain data integrity.
