Abstract
Provided is a method for verifying the accuracy of a response to a web-based survey. The method includes providing a survey on a website and receiving a survey response from an electronic device associated with a respondent, as well as receiving verification data from the electronic device. The verification data is analyzed to determine a likelihood of cheating. The survey response is saved in an authentic database when the likelihood of cheating is below a threshold.
