Alongside the investigation of general patterns in submitters’ behaviour, the study is meant to provide particular insight into the issue of whether the introduction of the possibility for making anonymous submissions has led to an increase in them and what users of the platform think of this possibility.

Secondly, an online questionnaire was carried out among the users of the platform and assessed.
