Crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk, Prolific, and Qualtrics Panels have become a dominant form of sampling in recent years. Crowdsourcing enables researchers to effectively and efficiently sample research participants with greater geographic variability, access to hard-to-reach populations, and reduced costs. These methods have been increasingly used across varied areas of psychological science and essential for research during the COVID-19 pandemic due to their facilitation of remote research. Recent work documents methods for improving data quality, emerging crowdsourcing platforms, and how crowdsourcing data fit within broader research programs. Addiction scientists will benefit from the adoption of best practice guidelines in crowdsourcing as well as developing novel approaches, venues, and applications to advance the field.

众包平台，如亚马逊土耳其机器人、 prolific 和 qualtrics 面板，近年来已成为一种主要的抽样形式。众包使研究人员能够有效地、高效地对具有更大地理变异性、更容易接触到难以接触到的人群和降低成本的研究参与者进行抽样。由于这些方法促进了远程研究，因此它们已在心理学科学的各个不同领域得到越来越多的应用，并且对于 COVID-19 大流行期间的研究至关重要。最近的工作记录了改进数据质量的方法、新兴的众包平台，以及众包数据如何适应更广泛的研究计划。成瘾科学家将受益于在众包中采用最佳实践指南，以及开发新的方法、场所和应用来推进该领域。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
