Publishing and recruitment
When your study is ready, the publish flow walks you through a final confirmation before your study goes live on the marketplace.
The publish flow
Step 1 — Final review
Review all study details in a read-only preview format. Confirm everything is correct before proceeding.
Step 2 — Recruitment timeline
Set how long applications should remain open. The maximum recruitment window is 90 days. The application deadline is calculated from the publish date.
Step 3 — Publish payment
Your first study on BIOME is free to publish. Subsequent studies require a one-time $99 publish fee. You will also review and accept the Experimenter Study Agreement at this step.
Step 4 — Confirm
On confirmation, your study becomes visible on the marketplace. The publish date and application deadline are recorded and displayed on the study page.
