Abstract: Systems and methods for gathering research data using multiple monitoring devices are provided. An example method includes accessing, at a first monitoring device and a second monitoring device, first timing data produced by an external source, the first monitoring device located remotely from the second monitoring device. The example method additionally includes adjusting second timing data generated by the first monitoring device based on the first timing data and adjusting third timing data generated by the second monitoring device based on the first timing data. The example method also includes accessing, at a processing facility, the first timing data and adjusting fourth timing data generated by the processing facility based on the first timing data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for gathering research data using multiple monitoring devices are provided. An example apparatus comprises interface circuitry to obtain, from a first computing device, a first indication of media output by the first computing device, the first indication including first metadata associated with the media; instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: apply criteria to at least a portion of the first metadata; and cause storage of the first metadata associated with the media in a database.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for monitoring use by a user of a portable research device in accordance with at least one predetermined use criterion are disclosed. The disclosed examples include passively gathering data for assessing an identity of a user of the portable research device, processing the passively gathered data to produce assessment data indicating a possibility that the user is not a predetermined correct user of the portable research device, based on the assessment data, displaying a message to the user requesting a response from which the user's identity may be determined, and processing a response to the message to produce data indicating whether the user is the predetermined correct user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for gathering research data using multiple monitoring devices are provided. The systems and methods include a processor to generate message data by supplementing first information collected by a first monitoring device with second information collected by a second monitoring device, the first information and the second information collected from media presented by a monitored device, and process the message data to determine a portion of the media that is encoded and a portion of the media that is unencoded. The example systems and methods also include a memory to store an indication that the message data is valid when the message data represents a code encoded in the media, and store data indicating the portion of the media that is encoded.
