新贡献者的有效社会化对于开放协作项目的长期可持续性至关重要。以前的研究已经确定了许多共同的参与障碍。然而,通过改善入职体验的各个方面来长期增加新人保留率的干预措施很少取得成功。这项研究提出了一个这样的干预,维基百科茶馆,对新的编辑生存的影响进行评估。在一个对照实验中,我们发现,新的编辑邀请到茶馆的保留率高于编辑谁没有收到邀请。这种效应对低活动和高活动的新来者以及短期和长期生存都有影响。
Effective socialization of new contributors is vital for the long-term sustainability of open collaboration projects. Previous research has identified many common barriers to participation. However, few interventions employed to increase newcomer retention over the long term by improving aspects of the onboarding experience have demonstrated success. This study presents an evaluation of the impact of one such intervention, the Wikipedia Teahouse, on new editor survival. In a controlled experiment, we find that new editors invited to the Teahouse are retained at a higher rate than editors who do not receive an invite. The effect is observed for both low-and high-activity newcomers, and for both short- and long-term survival.
