Content curation communities face challenges Information integration Social integration photo by SimonWhitaker

Rotman, Procita, Hansen, Parr, Preece, forthcoming " Scientists often have an aversion to what nonscientists say about science” (Salk, 1986) Collaboration is based on: Shared vocabulary, practices, and meanings Mutual recognition of knowledge, competency, and prestige Motivation to collaborate Scientists (n=280) and volunteers (n=12) told us

Institutional obligations Citable online work Accurate info on internet Advertise my expertise Highlight my research Meet needs of my project Supervising someone else n=161 Most importantLeast important Why scientists want to curate EOL

Biotracker: research questions What are the most effective strategies for motivating enthusiasts and experts to voluntarily contribute and collaborate? How can a socially intelligent system be used to direct human effort and expertise to the most valuable collection and classification tasks?

Participation in social activities stems from personal and collective reasons Egoism Collectivism Altruism Principalism Batson, Ahmad, Tsang, 2002

What motivates scientists and volunteers? N = 74

Motivational model for volunteer involvement

Content curation communities are an emerging phenomenon With both information and social integration challenges A more sophisticated model of volunteerism highlights key places and ways to KEEP volunteers coming back Future research will involve interventions and games to test possible solutions (see Become part of the EOL community at eol.org!
