So I found out about an interesting Blockchain social media based research you should give a shot by participating

(Edited)

I bumped into a research study that is currently being conducted by some researchers in Toronto Metropolitan University through the post - What about sharing your Hive experience for scientific research? by @lemouth. Seeing the post quickly drew my attention and I think the best thing to do besides indicating interesting immediately, will be to spread the news to others who might be willing but are uninformed.

I always believe that there is more to be done and achieved through the hive. One of the remarkable thing that has bee discovered over time was the unlimited possiblity with hive platform. I was marveled when I read the research proposal and indeed it is something worth giving a shot.

The purpose of research study is to better understand the nature of blockchain-based social media platforms and why people are using them.

With the objective above in mind, it is reasonable to say that the outcome of the research study will sure be very interesting and it's make much sense as well to be part of those whose contribution yielded the end result of the research.

This is just a smart way to actually propagate the news about hive as a whole. Have been thinking of how to contribute and spread the news about hive blockchain?, Now is your time to make the impact and spread the news. I could vividly remember how @theycallmedan really instituted various campaigns with the aim of promoting hive to the world through Twitter and other social media and till date, this had a huge positive impact on the adoption of hive.

This research from my understanding through the post of @lemouth above was brought to his attention by @guiltyparties. The attention this research will bring to hive is of utmost importance to me. Bearing in mind that community members of other Blockchain based social media like - steemit and Minds will also be involved in this research work, this is just a perfect time to show the world how active the population of hivers are and the capacity it possesses.

Thinking that's all? Absolutely not, the researcher have decide to give some incentives to encourage participation. You would agree with me that getting as much as ten dollars (10$) worth of hive these days can be pretty daunting. Well you could earn yourself this by just participating in the research study. Not for the money anyway, be open minded.

The registration process is quite very simple. Within 5 minutes, you should probably be done. Currently I have been scheduled for the life interview come next week July 13th via zoom. From my understanding, it will require you to share your personal experience using any of the hive front ends. I can't to pour out my experiences so far.

Now is the time to really express yourself and share your experiences. Note that you get to choose your preferred time from the list of available time allotted. All at your convenience. I will advise you jump on this as soon as possible so that you will be among the early participants. This however doesn't mean opting to register at a later date will have any negative effect, I just believe that, anything worth doing should be done without any form of hesitation.

@lemouth has shown that the possibility of using hive and its community members in achieving a research goal through the research - Citizen Science he initiated and has been running for over 4 months now. Good news is that, it does not have any expiration date or time, so in essence it is open ended and you are free to join. Currently I am yet to join since I mostly busy and might not have sufficient time really engage. I hope to get fully involved during my leave. So if you are free, you can as well give it a shot. To know more, and how to join, read the introduction post - Towards a citizen science particle physics research project on Hive

If all these are achievable on hive, what do you think would happen when the world fully gets the attention of the whole community. With the whole momentum about research, the idea to also start up something that would not only attract hive members but also the wider community of non hivers came to my mind: Establishing a framework of Medical laboratory workshop series that will run indefinitely. With aim of giving hivers first hand information on several findings from my clinical experience and diagnosis. You have not misses anything yet, you can join me on the very first episode - Medical laboratory workshop; Relieving the moment with live parasite - Shistosoma Haematobium

Even though it might not be much of a participatory research work, it will be somewhat a way to convey any findings in the course of carrying out clinical and diagnostic procedures. This is something that sure would only be found on hive since I don't share them else where. The end result will be the attraction of researchers to the hive blockchain. It's just a matter of time before more scientific researchers get to know hive and the potential that lies therein.

I urge you to register for the blockchain research study and be part of the history making process. Hive just got bigger. Feel free to also get involved in the #citizen science project as well.

Keynotes:

•Website for the research registration: Research Study: Blockchain-based Social Media

•You are have to be up to 18years of age to be eligible.

•Your participation in the research work will give more exposure to hive and to the research community in general.

Feel free to chat up @lemouth, he has successfully done his interview. I can't answer much question about the interview since I am yet to be interviewed. You can ask me after July 14th😊, I will gladly pour it out, but in the meantime, I encourage you to get involved. No need giving it a second thought, winks.

Kindly reblog, repost and share on other social media outlets for more visibility and participation.

Join and let's make hive a place for all works of Life!

Honestly, we should not do it for the money. 10 USD is nothing, except for a few cups of coffee (even less than a few in Australia) ;)

Cheers!

Exactly, how I wish Many people would think this way.

wishing people would see beyond the monetary incentive before participating in research works.

I have on numerous occasions had the experience where we had to beg and offer some monetary aid before we could get response from some individuals. One of the reasons on-line questionnaire/ survey form are hardly filled voluntarily by respondents.

That's a good question to which we may never get an answer... :D

One of the reasons on-line questionnaire/ survey form are hardly filled voluntarily by respondents.

In my case, it is mostly because those forms are usually long, and I don't have much free time. I am all fine for taking part to short surveys. Not to long ones.

Indeed! I'm very interested to read the results of the study! I'm on four blockchain social platforms, Hive (of course), Bastyon (formerly Pocketnet), Minds, and Flote, though I spend most of my time here now, as nothing presently compares to Hive.
