Manage your participant pool with Sona Systems comprehensive research platform for universities. Universities using Sona Systems typically see participation rates increase by 25–50% and no-show rates drop to below 5%. Use Sona Systems for research in a lab setting, online studies, or a mix of both.

Many students are involved in research, not only as researchers themselves, but also as participants or subjects. To assist in coordination of the studies and to access research opportunities, the Department of Psychology uses a computer system called SONA.

SONA uses what is referred to as “COURSES” to determine what participants receive when they complete a specific study. When you create your SONA account you select what courses you want to be eligible for.

Sona is an online scheduling system used to record your research participation credit. You will go to the Sona website to find out what studies are being offered in a given quarter and use the site to sign up for studies.

How do I log into Sona? To activate your account, go to the UC Davis Sona login page. The Sona site is configured through Central Authentication Service (CAS) Single Sign-On (SSO). You can log into the system using your UC Davis credentials.

We currently host three main avenues to connect with ongoing research. Managed with the SONA systems software, this is the primary means through which undergraduate students may participate in research studies for course credit.

The Department of Psychology at Allegheny College uses a web-based system, SONA, to manage and schedule Psychology Department research. Once you have created an account, you will be able to view current available research experiments and schedule appointments to participate in these experiments.
