How do I find a researcher on the internet?

What is the best way to find a freelance researcher to help me create infographics?

I know of a couple of online marketplaces like VWorker and similar, but I am wondering if there might be a better place.

I am looking for someone who I can go to to help me find data and other resources, and maybe even go through and pull the most interesting parts out which I could then use in my pieces.

I'm not even sure if I'm using any of the right terminology here, which might help me out.

So, hivemind, any suggestions of job boards or websites that could help me find a researcher like this? Thanks a bunch!

if you have the funds, organization, data and a concept (not an exact idea of how you want to convey it) and can make the data freely available, you could crowdsource a competition.
