TurkPrime can now automatically add Worker ID, HIT ID, and Assignment ID to data files, including CSV and SPSS files. These variables can be very useful when you want to match Workers across multiple data files. For example, in longitudinal studies, researchers typically ask Workers to provide their Worker IDs in order to pair responses collected at different points in time.

TurkPrime has just released a Copy feature which makes duplicating past TurkPrime HITs simple and fast.
To copy the settings from an old survey to a new one, follow these simple steps:

In the latest release of TurkPrime.com we added many new features and fixes among them 2 additional metrics for every survey:
Topics: amazon mechanical turk, bounce rate, completion rate, mturk, turkprime
How can a Requester who rejected an assignment in error undo his mistake? A rejected assignment affects the Worker negatively and will often impact the Requester with negative feedback which can damage the Requester's online reputation which lowers Worker participation in future HITs. What can a Requester do to reverse the rejection?

How can you increase Amazon Mechanical Turk HIT Worker participation rates and speed completion of a HIT? This is particularly an issue with HITs that have a large number of required participants or have Qualifications that limit the number of qualified Workers

Running Qualtrics surveys on TurkPrime streamlines several major pain-points researchers using MTurk have dealt with:

Suppose you're running a Mechanical Turk survey and need to exclude workers who took a previous survey. How can you quickly set this up.
Some of the currently used solutions require following multiple steps to set things up and are not turnkey solutions and others require Workers to enter their Worker ID, which may self-filter workers and limit the number of workers taking your survey.

Suppose you need to run a survey on Mechanical Turk and follow up with the same workers a week, month or year later. A few issues come up:

Suppose you need to run a HIT with 1000 Workers. Or a HIT that is only open to Workers who have an approval Rating of 95% or more and have completed 500 HITs or more. Although when you launched your HIT the MTurk Workers arrived at a nice pace, over time, the pace has slowed to a trickle such that your HIT will never complete.
