  • Participate: try the study as a participant. Your anonymous data will be sent to the researcher.
  • Import: save a copy of the study to your own account. You can then make edits to your copy and use it to inform your own research.
    • NOTE: please provide credit to the original creator of the study when applicable. Remember, when importing a study from another user, the study is considered intellectual property of the original creator. Therefore, do NOT republish a study that you did not create.
    • Importing studies is a great way to learn new techniques and designs that can be applied to your own studies!
  • Inspect: Opens the Study Design tab and allows you to view the design and settings of the study without importing to your account.
  • Like: If you like the design and/or idea of the study, please give it a "like" to support open science and your fellow Labvanced researchers!
    • Note: You can only like each study 1 time.

At the bottom of the study window, you can see if a researcher has added any references. These are papers that their study is based on so that other users can do further research on their own.
