On measuring motivation in crowdsourcing
Abstract
Our President has set an extremely important, ambitious goal to make the country one of the five world leaders in the field of priority scientific research by 2024. The relevance of this assignment in connection with recent events is reaching a completely new level. How can we qualitatively improve productivity, communication and collaboration in this competitive field to strengthen the position of Russian science, how can we increase the speed of assembling new projects and teams? According to our research, there are at least two problems: the first is that many researchers, even within the same organization, are often poorly informed about the ongoing projects of colleagues, the second is that talented and ambitious people often interact with each other in a difficult way. The results of our research show that it is possible to facilitate the solution of these important problems with the help of a crowdsourcing tool. The main objective of our research is to devise an effective methodology that allows increasing the inclusion (that is, involvement, participation, engagement) of interested parties, stakeholders in the process of research activities to establish mutually beneficial scientific communication, which would help to increase labor productivity in this area and strengthen the position of domestic science as a whole.
