The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we live, work and the way we conductresearch. With the restrictions of lockdowns and social distancing, variousimpacts were experienced by many software engineering researchers, especiallywhose studies depend on human participants. We conducted a mixed methods studyto understand the extent of this impact. Through a detailed survey with 89software engineering researchers working with human participants around theworld and a further nine follow-up interviews, we identified the key challengesfaced, the adaptations made, and the surprising fringe benefits of conductingresearch involving human participants during the pandemic. Our findings alsorevealed that in retrospect, many researchers did not wish to revert to the oldways of conducting human-oriented research. Based on our analysis and insights,we share recommendations on how to conduct remote studies with humanparticipants effectively in an increasingly hybrid world when face-to-faceengagement is not possible or where remote participation is preferred.
