Institute for Online Consumer Studies (IOCS) is a not-for-profit research organization that studies various aspects of shopping-related behavior, including how consumers evaluate products and make purchase decisions. All IOCS studies are conducted for purely academic purposes, i.e., none of the studies are conducted for clients. The people behind IOCS are academics who conduct studies via the Web as part of their scientific research in the area of consumer behavior. The overall objective of IOCS studies is to generate new knowledge about specific aspects of consumer behavior. You could participate in research studies via the Internet and get paid or qualify for valuable prizes!

Payments could be made as either cash or prizes. When payments are cash they are settled through a PayPal account. When payments are prizes other than cash, the prize will be mailed to you at the address linked to your IOCS panel membership.
