Combat Survey Fraud with Sentry
Sentry is your comprehensive solution for combating survey fraud and ensuring data integrity. As fraudulent responses grow more sophisticated, maintaining the reliability of your survey data has never been more critical.
Our mission is to empower researchers with advanced tools and resources to safeguard the authenticity and reliability of their survey responses.
Sentry is a pre-survey vetting tool designed to identify and remove fraudulent and low-quality respondents before they even enter your survey, giving you a cleaner dataset from the start.
But protecting your data doesn’t stop there—pre-survey vetting is just one layer of defense.
Here’s How Sentry Can Help
Fraudulent responses can distort your research findings. To help mitigate this, Sentry’s in-survey randomized validation questions offer an additional layer of protection. We provide a set of five randomly generated, expertly designed validation questions that seamlessly integrate into your surveys. These questions are engineered to:
- Identify inconsistent responses
- Detect patterns indicative of fraudulent behavior
- Validate respondent attentiveness
Simply download the questions and incorporate them into your surveys to enhance data quality and reduce fraud.
To further assist in identifying and eliminating fraudulent responses, we’ve developed an R package and SPSS code that analyze survey data for signs of manipulation or deceit. Our tools are tailored to help you:
- Detect anomalies and suspicious response patterns
- Perform statistical analyses to confirm the presence of fraudulent activity
- Apply best practices for data validation and cleaning
Integrating these tools into your data analysis workflow, you can significantly enhance the credibility and accuracy of your research findings.
