Abstract:Background
To ensure the privacy of participants is an ethical and legal obligation for researchers. Yet, achieving anonymity can be technically difficult. When observing participants over time one needs mechanisms to link the data from the different sessions. Also, it is often necessary to expand the sample of participants during a project.
Objectives
To help researchers simplify the administration of such studies the CANDIDATE tool is proposed. This tool allows simple, unique, and anonymous participant IDs… Show more
“…All participants were provided with a participant information sheet and consent form on which they could provide consent to participate. Participants were assigned a randomised identifier using the CANDIDATE ID randomiser, available at https://frode-sandnes.github.io/CANDIDATE/ (Sandnes, 2021). This ensured anonymity of interview transcript files used in coding and surveys.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
