‘Crowdsourcing’ is a relatively recent concept that encompasses many practices. This diversity leads to the blurring of the limits of crowdsourcing that may be identified virtually with any type of internet-based collaborative activity, such as co-creation or user innovation. Varying definitions of crowdsourcing exist, and therefore some authors present certain specific examples of crowdsourcing as…

Collaborative tagging describes the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content.

Information scientists study publication, citation and co-citation networks, collaboration structures and other forms of…
