*Call for Papers *

Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) 47

Big Island, Hawaii, January 6-9, 2014

*Minitrack: Crowdsourcing Content Production and Online Knowledge Repositories*

*Track: Digital and Social Media*

As various forms of collaboration are enabled (and constrained) by the affordances available in social media, researchers are investigating a range of issues including: 1) the diverse ways in which people collaborate to create, manage, curate and manipulate online content and how these activities affect digital repositories; 2) how those who manage these repositories are responding to the dynamics of online co-creation of content; 3) the dynamics of crowdsourced online collaborations and online communities of practice; and 4) the ways in which we can best describe the socio-technical interaction networks that facilitate and inhibit mass knowledge production.

In this mini track we are interested in empirical and theoretical work that addresses these and related socio-technical issues. Papers of interest will examine communities of online knowledge repositories such as YouTube, Yahoo! Answers, Wikipedia, and others and may address in this context topics such as:

. The socio-technical dynamics of crowdsourcing and mass knowledge production sites

. Vandalism and trolling in online mass knowledge production sites

. Conflict and cooperation in content production sites

. Issues of gender in collaborative content production sites

. Global, cross-cultural and international aspects of content production and online intercultural collaborations in online content creation communities

. Managing ethics in online mass knowledge production communities

. Building, maintaining and ending social relationships on online repositories sites

. Social question answering and collaborative information seeking behaviors

. Challenges and opportunities of digital curation

. Standards and quality of digital content online
