    Bhatt, J., Dominy, M. & Bradley, J. Peer Review in the Google Age: Is technology changing the way science is done and evaluated? 2006   misc URL 
    Abstract: Peer review in science and technology has been the subject of significant controversy. In a world where finding information is laborious, the knowledge that a document is from a "“trusted source" is valuable. This presentation explores whether coming of Google and other web based search engines have impacted how science is done, peer reviewed and published and whether the present peer review process is necessary and maintains the quality and focus of a journal and articles published. With increasing number of Open Access Institutional Repositories worldwide and indexed by Google, more and more scientific literature is now visible than before and hence resulting in increased worldwide access to scientific literature. Quality blogs and wikis have speeded up the process of scientific communication through informal peer reviews while the present system of formal peer review still attempts to maintain quality of a reserach paper although it tends to slow down the process of scientific communication. More debate and discussion on issues mentioned will further shed light on this important subject of peer reviews in Google environment.

    Bryant, S.L., Forte, A. & Bruckman, A. Becoming Wikipedian: Transformation of Participation in a Collaborative Online Encyclopedia 2005 GROUP '05: Proceedings of the 2005 international ACM SIGGROUP conference on Supporting group work, pp. 1-10  inproceedings DOI URL 
    Abstract: Traditional activities change in surprising ways when computer-mediated communication becomes a component of the activity system. In this descriptive study, we leverage two perspectives on social activity to understand the experiences of individuals who became active collaborators in Wikipedia, a prolific, cooperatively-authored online encyclopedia. Legitimate peripheral participation provides a lens for understanding participation in a community as an adaptable process that evolves over time. We use ideas from activity theory as a framework to describe our results. Finally, we describe how activity on the Wikipedia stands in striking contrast to traditional publishing and suggests a new paradigm for collaborative systems.

    Hinds, D. & Lee, R.M. Social Network Structure as a Critical Success Condition for Virtual Communities 2008 Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Proceedings of the 41st Annual, pp. 323-323  inproceedings DOI URL 
    Abstract: Virtual communities have become an important new organizational form and yet relatively little is known about the conditions which lead to their success. In an attempt to address this knowledge gap, a particular subset of virtual communities - open source software project communities - is investigated and four hypotheses are asserted which relate social network structure to community success. The hypotheses, which are based on social network theory and related research, suggest that success is supported by high levels of affiliation with other communities, moderate levels of density within the network of community conversations, moderate levels of density in the communications between peripheral members and core members, and low levels of density in the communications between administrators and the rest of the community. Empirical research is underway to test these hypotheses based on a sample of over 200 open source software project communities.

    article URL 
    Abstract: In our work the traditional bipartite model of ontologies is extended with the social dimension, leading to a tripartite model of actors, concepts and instances. We demonstrate the application of this representation by showing how community-based semantics emerges from this model through a process of graph transformation. We illustrate ontology emergence by two case studies, an analysis of a large scale folksonomy system and a novel method for the extraction of community-based ontologies from Web pages.

    Ortega, F., Gonzalez-Barahona, J.M. & Robles, G. On the Inequality of Contributions to Wikipedia 2008 Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Proceedings of the 41st Annual, pp. 304-304  inproceedings DOI URL 
    Abstract: massive collaborative content development. However, many of the mechanisms and procedures that it uses are still unknown in de- tail. For instance, how equal (or unequal) are the contributions to it has been discussed in the last years, with no conclusive results. In this paper, we study exactly that aspect by using Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients, very well known instruments to economists. We analyze the trends in the inequality of distributions for the ten biggest language editions of Wikipedia, and their evolution over time. As a result, we have found large differences in the number of contributions by different authors (something also observed in free, open source software development), and a trend to stable patterns of inequality in the long run.

    Parise, S. & Guinan, P.J. Marketing Using Web 2.0 2008 Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Proceedings of the 41st Annual, pp. 281-281  inproceedings DOI URL 
    Abstract: The increasing popularity of Web 2.0 tools, such as blogs, wikis, and virtual worlds, is fundamentally changing how consumers use the Web. The basic core of Web 2.0, that users can generate and share their own content, often regarding company brands and products, provides both potential value and challenges to marketing practitioners. Along with conducting secondary research, we interviewed 30 marketing executives and senior managers at companies at the forefront of using this technology. We found that there were four principles which guided managers' marketing actions: 1) facilitate users in generating content, 2) focus on building a community, 3) ensure authenticity of the message, and 4) look for marketing opportunities through experimentation.

    Park, D. & Han, I. Integrating Conflicting Reviews: Attributional Hypotheses of Consumer Response to Information Uncertainty depending on Prior Brand Attitude 2008 Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Proceedings of the 41st Annual, pp. 287-287  inproceedings DOI URL 
    Abstract: This study investigates how consumers evaluate a product when they read conflicting online consumer reviews of evaluations from previous consumers. If consumers are rational, as is assumed in economics, they prefer the product with the low-variance of review-rating scores rather than the product with the high- variance of review-rating scores because the variance of review-rating scores is positively related to the perceived uncertainty of product performance. Our study finds the condition in which consumers are likely to act irrationally, and explain why consumers have irrational behavior with attribution theory. When attributional bias occurs, consumers with a favorable prior brand attitude prefer the product with high-variance reviews over the product with low-variance reviews. Whereas, if attributional bias does not exist, rational behavior about the information uncertainty is found. Our findings show the underlying mechanism for the consumers' responses to the disagreements of others' opinions and give practical implications for online sellers.

    Abstract: Shared understandings are important for software development as they guide effective individual contribu- tions and coordination of the software development proc- ess. However, it is not clear if such understandings can be developed in highly distributed groups that do not regu- larly meet face-to-face. In this paper, we present the re- sults of a preliminary analysis of shared mental models within a Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) de- velopment team. We analyzed mental models using cogni- tive mapping and process analysis and compared the models of four developers from the Apache Lucene Java project. Our analysis suggests that there is a high level of sharing among core developers but the sharing is not complete, with some differences related to tenure and role in the project. Finally, we suggest directions for further research on shared mental models in FLOSS teams.
