We have collectively authored guidelines that will educate researchers and let Turkers hold them accountable to a higher standard.

Too many academic researchers make mistakes that lead to bad experiences for Turkers and bad results for them. We are creating public guidelines for ethical academic research on AMT. This guide can include general guidelines for being a good requester and discussions on fair wage and ethics of research on AMT. It will outline steps we will use to make sure any bad academic HITs get fixed, possibly including contacting the researcher's IRB at their university to step in. After we have a complete document, we will gather support by asking turkers and academic requesters to sign it.
