What do we do?

  • Investigate critical social questions for the ESC, e.g.,
    • Under what conditions are scientists most likely to share results?
  • Determine how to reach self-sustaining critical mass of ESC contributors
    • (Hmmm...fission as metaphor? Discuss...)

How do we do it?

  • Mine the literature for applicable information
  • Analyze the social underpinnings of successes and failures in social media
  • Propose technical and programmatic solutions to social quandaries
  e.g., Gamification to engage users? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification)
