Viability of Crowd-Volunteered Open Research Reviews
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study, we examine the feasibility of reviewing research publications through crowdsourcing. We propose a post-publication review model where the research materials are posted online for the crowd volunteers to review. One such platform, named PuGLi, is prepared and the data collected from it is analyzed. The analysis raises some interesting questions related to the challenges of attracting crowd volunteers, determining truthfulness of opinions, and obtaining the final judgment from multiple opinions received from the crowd.

متن کاملA Roadmap for Open Innovation Systems
Open innovation systems have provided organizations with unprecedented access to the “wisdom of the crowd,” allowing them to collect candidate solutions for problems they care about, from potentially thousands of individuals, at very low cost. These systems, however, face important challenges deriving, ironically, from their very success: they can elicit such high levels of participation that i...
متن کاملAssuring the Quality of Volunteered Geographic Information
Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is a phenomenon of recent years, offering an alternative mechanism for the acquisition and compilation of geographic information. As such it offers substantial advantages, but suffers from a general lack of quality assurance. We discuss the issues involved in the determination of quality for geospatial data, and trace the history of research on VGI quali...

متن کاملAssessing Completeness and Spatial Error of Features in Volunteered Geographic Information
The assessment of the quality and accuracy of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) contributions, and by extension the ultimate utility of VGI data has fostered much debate within the geographic community. The limited research to date has been focused on VGI data of linear features and has shown that the error in the data is heterogeneously distributed. Some have argued that data produced b...
