I am looking for any insight or proven practice regarding the usage of email for research. Is there a program/website/process to anonymize both a researcher and participants' email addresses but still allow them to communicate?
Craigslist has a feature where the buyer and seller can email each other using auto-generated, anonymous email addresses ([email protected]). These emails go to the buyer/seller's main email accounts, but they strip the messages of any headers/identifying information. In effect, these emails through Craigslist are anonymous.
Is this something we could utilize for research? Could we have participants email a generic email address that would allow both the researcher and participant's real email address to be redacted, yet allow for communication?
Has anyone else tried something similar?
Thank you!
