Citations
We provide SurvConf as an open-source tool without restrictions for use. However, if you use SurvConf, we ask that you cite the following two articles (the first is on SurvConf and the second is on SMARTRIQS, which SurvConf leverages to assist with participant matching):

2. Given we do not have access to any of the data you collect, and SURVCONF relies on third party services to function, we make no personal promises with regard to the privacy of the data that you collect. You should review the privacy and data policies of all services upon which SURVCONF relies on (AWS, Agora, HEROKU, SMARTRIQS) to ensure they meet the standards set by your institution’s IRB/ethics board for your studies.
3. SurvConf is not currently optimized for smartphone use. Although SurvConf does work on some (but not all) smartphones we advise against allowing participants to use smartphones as: a) some participants will not be able to properly access their smartphone’s video camera via SurvConf within a survey, and b) the participant experience of engaging in a multi-person video call will be fundamentally different on a smartphone (e.g., where not all other matched participant videos are visible and/or are much smaller). By default, SurvConf does not restrict smartphone users from participating in case you wish to include them, but if you would like to restrict smartphone users from entering the survey, this page provides details on how to do so.
