众包研究 [Crowdsourced Research]
定义: 众包研究是一种科研组织模式,通过大规模合作的方式开展,让多个团队以独立而协调的方式进行一个或多个研究项目。众包研究旨在通过整合资源、提升透明度和包容性来提升效率和可扩展性,并通过增强统计效力和促进相互的社会审查来提高研究的严谨性、可靠性和可信度。这种模式与传统由个人或小型研究团队独立开展(“小科研”)的学术研究模式不同。众包研究的典型范例包括:“多实验室重复性研究”(Klein et al., 2018)、“多分析师同数据集研究”(Silberzahn et al., 2018)、分布式协作网络(Moshontz et al., 2018),以及大规模开放在线论文(MOOPs)等开放式协作写作项目(Himmelstein et al., 2019; Tennant et al., 2019)。另外,众包研究也可指通过Amazon Mechanical Turk或Prolific等在线劳动力市场雇用大量研究“众包工作者”进行数据收集,如进行内容分析(Benoit et al., 2016; Lind et al., 2017)或实验研究(Peer et al., 2017)。那些通过开放参与以及共享中间产出而实现开放的众包研究,被称为众包科学(Franzoni & Sauermann, 2014)。
