Join us for R&D Unplugged #9 with Muki Haklay

The 90-9-1 rule in citizen science and crowdsourced science

One of the most common observations in scientific crowdsourcing and citizen science is that a (very) small group of participants are contributing most of the data. This is the case with systems such as Google Local Guides, Wikipedia, iNaturalist or OpenStreetMap. This pattern is called participation inequality, or the 90-9-1 rule. In this session, I’ll explain why I see the 90-9-1 rule as one of the important aspects of participation in projects that engage crowds. I will discuss the drivers, and wonder whether it is desirable to do something about this pattern.
