Sequence of URLs Allows you to send the same data as URL parameters to a numbers of URLs that together make up your experiment. Typically You will start from SONA or Prolific, then go to an informed consent form, then to an online experiment or survey and then back to Prolific for completion of the experiment.

Prolific

Imagine you want to conduct an online experiment with Prolific and you want to your participants to visit the following three places:

  • Informed consent
  • Online Experiment
  • Prolific completion

If the informed consent form is of the type that is most common in the Donders Center for Cognition, the experiment is on our exp server this will give you three URL's for these places like this:

The last of the three comes from Prolific:

Form on the Prolific study page showing the completion URL.

Since you programmed coolExperiment yourself you can make sure that the last page contains a link to the completion URL, but to let the informed consent survey know where the experiment is, you have to add it in the first URL like this:

You may have never done this before by hand, since it is done for you by URL Composer. This works but typically we want to make it even more complicated. The experiment wants to keep track of the prolific pid the identify unique participants. In the past we could use URL Composer for an even more complicated URL, but that no longer works (2023-06-16) therefore we need Sequence of URLs, a small tool that makes aliases for the three URLs in your experiment and keeps track of the prolific pid for you. Just enter the three URLs there:

like this.

Three URLs that make up an experiment

Instead of linking to the informed consent form directly, you link prolific to the first URL in the sequence:
