Crowdsourcing the analysis of scholarly tweets
Crowdsourcing the analysis of scholarly tweetsIn December Euan Adie and I [Martin Fenner] started the CrowdoMeter project, an analysis of the semantic content of tweets linking to scholarly papers. Because classifying almost 500 tweets is a lot of work, we turned this into a crowdsourcing project. We got help from 36 people, who did 953 classifications, and we discussed the preliminary results (available here) at the ScienceOnline2012conference.
