MmmTurkey

Internal HITs on Amazon Mechanical Turk can be programmatically restrictive, and as a result, many requesters turn to using external HITs as a more flexible alternative. However, creating such HITs can be redundant and time-consuming. MmmTurkey is a framework that enables researchers to not only quickly create and manage external HITs thanks to convenient built-in features, but more significantly also capture and record detailed worker behavioral data characterizing how each worker completes a given task. Though initially designed with Mechanical Turk in mind, MmmTurkey can provide embeddable code to be used on any platform. You can read our paper here.
