FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH
Proprietary And IRB-Approved Global Methodologies
By academics, for academics, now with academic pricing. RIWI helps universities and independent researchers overcome traditional research limitations by reaching hard-to-access populations, collecting responses anonymously, and providing flexible research solutions, from sample access to full-service implementation.
Research Tools Designed For Academic Discovery
Truly Random Global Sampling
Give respondents anywhere in the world with web access the ability to randomly, voluntarily, safely, and anonymously share their views, through Random Domain Intercept Technology (RDIT), which randomly samples internet-using populations.
Hard-to-Reach Population Research
Reach communities typically excluded from research (those behind censorship, government firewalls, ad-blockers, or anti-virus software) and study audiences traditional data collection leaves out.
Real-Time Sentiment Tracking
Detect early indicators as events unfold by monitoring in-the-moment sentiment or tracking it over time.
Geographic Targeting
Conduct research at the country, regional, or city level. RIWI supports targeted research approaches for general population studies or quota-specific samples.
Data Integrity
Proactively protect your research with bot and fraudulent respondent detection. Avoid skewing your data with biometric verification and peer-reviewed methodologies.
Flexible Delivery
RIWI offers a variety of solutions ranging from self-service, to optimization support, and comprehensive implementation.
Special Pricing For Academic Research
RIWI offers dedicated academic pricing for university researchers, PhD students, and non-profit research institutions. Contact us to discuss your study requirements and budget.
By Academics, For Academics
Founded by Neil Seeman, Senior Fellow at the University of Toronto, RIWI’s first product was developed to predict Black Swan events in real-time. RIWI’s pioneer product was initially used to address the Ontario government’s need for tracking reliable and realistic responses to the H1N1 pandemic. Now, RIWI is a leading provider of accurate and real-time global consumer and citizen sentiment data. RIWI methodology including RDIT have been published in top journals across a variety of disciplines.
RIWI helps ensure that researchers’ objectives are not limited by the answers available using traditional survey technology. RIWI can collect opinion and sentiment data in hard-to-reach geographies and censored areas. RIWI reaches more countries and markets than any other firm. We break through the noise to find the truth about what people really think, want for themselves, and observe in the world around them. We do this by reaching the most diverse audiences and eliciting the least censored opinions.
RIWI’s methodology has been proven and tested by leading institutions such as Harvard University, the University of Toronto, and Boston University.
