A flowchart of how our ten principles fit together. The flowchart starts with an online experiment idea. Principles 1 through 4 are, in order, Maximize the advantages; Plan for technical variability; Plan for behavioral variability; and Validate your experiment. At this point, researchers must decide whether the trade-off of pros to cons favors conducting the experiment online. The experiment then passes through: Recruit participants strategically; Instruct clearly; Make it engaging; Collect data comprehensively; Respect your participants; and Make it discoverable. This then loops back to a new online experiment idea, using all of the learnings to improve future experiments.
