Recruiting software professionals to participate in software engineering-related (SE) research is vital for producing impactful research to investigate effective methods to develop and maintain software. However, it is difficult to recruit suitable participants to participate in research, leading to irrelevant research results, unusable tools and processes, and a growing gap between SE researchers and practitioners in industry. There are a variety of issues that contribute to this problem, and this platform aims to bridge this gap by acknowledging the time and effort of software engineers who volunteer to contribute to SE research experiments. More background and motivation for this work can be found in the research paper proposing this platform.
