- For a Big Team Science project, do you have tips on which months tend to work best for recruitment in your country, and how we might stagger recruitment across regions?
This month’s #ManyLanguagesChallengeOfTheMonth focuses on something many of us grapple with every year: seasonal recruitment difficulties.
Whether you’re running online experiments, lab‑based studies, or fieldwork, recruitment patterns often shift dramatically during long breaks. For some teams, summer holidays mean fewer students on campus; for others, winter holidays mean participants are travelling, busy, or simply less available.
