We're running a longitudinal study at MIT Sloan on how AI tools are changing academic research workflows. We're particularly interested in how social and behavioral scientists are adapting and so we're inviting AOM members to participate:

As part of the study, half of participants will be offered access to Claude Code for two months, via a Claude Max subscription. Claude Code is a command-line AI assistant that can write and debug your analysis code, manage your data pipeline, scrape and clean datasets, and automate tedious research tasks. These accounts have been donated by Anthropic. Other participants will be compensated for participation across the study.
To be eligible for the study, you need to complete an initial survey, and be a researcher (3rd year PhD student to full professor) working with quantitative data, with an empirical paper from the last six months. The survey (~8 minutes) covers your current research, workflows, and time use. You can take it here:

For completing the initial survey, you'll receive a $10 gift card. Your responses are confidential. We use participant IDs rather than names, and report only aggregate results.
Thank you for considering this. Please let us know if you have any questions.
