Search Engine Study: Academic Research Extension for Chrome
Search Engine Study is a free Chrome extension developed by upfextension. It is specifically designed for academic research purposes and is part of a study conducted by the Center for Economic Policy Research. The main objective of this extension is to gain a better understanding of how different individuals reach news sites through search engines.
Once study participants have given their consent for data collection, they can install this extension. The extension then performs Google searches for specific queries and collects the results. It is important to note that no personal information besides search results and user location is collected during this process.
In addition, select users who have completed the survey and received an invitation may be eligible to receive an award. It is worth mentioning that the extension itself does not provide any details regarding the award or how it will be distributed.
