Call for Papers for the mini track on "Global and Cross Cultural Aspects of
Crowdsourced Content Production and Knowledge Repositories"
Track: Global, International, and Cross Cultural Issues in IS (SIGCCRIS)
Description
With the advent of Web 2.0, many crowdsourced content production and
repository sites, such as Wikipedia, YouTube, and Yahoo! Answers, are
flourishing. Wikipedia, for example, became one of the top ten most popular
websites. Many scholars have focused attention on information quality and
processes of mass knowledge production, as well as the social aspects of
these projects. However, significantly less attention has been given to
their global nature. Wikipedia, for example, includes articles in 285
languages, Yahoo! Answers International is available in more than 25
languages, and YouTube in more than 60 languages. This global nature of
such knowledge creation and content repository projects offers a rich
socio-technical environment to examine international and cross cultural
issues online. Previous studies are predisposed to primarily investigate
the English version of these repositories, yet there is a need for more
cross cultural research. The purpose of this minitrack is to showcase
research on knowledge production projects that goes beyond their English
versions. The minitrack welcomes both empirical and conceptual work and
solicits innovative analysis of international and cross cultural aspects of
these projects. We invite papers, research in progress, and panels.
Suggested Topics:
Appropriate topics for this minitrack include (but are not limited to) the
following list:
·Global, cross cultural and international issues of crowdsourced content
production and repository sites, such as:**

motivations, and challenges
