I wanted to share an article that recently featured our services which could give the Dewey community an idea of one of the many ways to use our data.

In this article, the participants were selected via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (mTurk) program. As this research looks into the country of participants, it was important for them to verify the location information of their participants. Even though it is possible to set qualification parameters such as location on mTurk, the researchers double-checked their participants’ location using our IP address location data.
