本文通过莎士比亚世界对话论坛(Zooniverse 平台上的人文项目)的案例研究,调查了虚拟公民科学项目中的用户角色。为了解决集体知识生产问题,我们研究了主题标签、ping 和链接的使用,作为区分研究人员、版主和不同用户组根据其角色使用论坛的方式。我们展示了志愿者和研究人员如何对他们转录的文本产生更深的兴趣,并积极寻找上下文信息,形成新的探究线索,并发现新现象。我们的结论是,在公民科学中使用在线论坛可以发挥至关重要的作用,将知识生产从学术研究扩展到更广泛的公共利益,并且还可以提供超出转录文档任务的新知识。
This article investigates user roles in virtual citizen science projects through a case study of the Talk-forum of Shakespeare’s World, a humanities project on the Zooniverse platform. To address collective knowledge production, we study the use of hashtags, pinging, and linking as a way of differentiating how researchers, moderators, and different user groups use the forum according to their roles. We show how both volunteers and researchers have a much deeper interest in the texts that they transcribe and actively seek contextual information, shape new lines of inquiry, and discover new phenomena. We conclude that the use of online forums in citizen science can play a crucial role for extending the knowledge production from academic research to a wider public interest, and also provide new knowledges beyond the assigned task of transcribing documents.
