Social software and distributed scientific evaluation Wed, 21 Feb 2007 23:09:48 +0000 http://www.academicproductivity.com/blog/2006/online-reference-management-part-2-going-social/#comment-281 [...] Online reference managers are extraordinary productivity tools, but it would be a mistake to take this as their primary interest for the academic community. As it is often the case for social software services, online reference managers are becoming powerful and costless solutions to collect large sets of metadata, in this case collaborative metadata on scientific literature. Taken at the individual level, such metadata (i.e. tags and ratings added by individual users) are hardly of interest, but on a large scale I suspect they will provide information capable of outperforming more traditional evaluation processes in terms of coverage, speed and efficiency. Collaborative metadata cannot offer the same guarantees as standard selection processes (insofar as they do not rely on experts’ reviews and are less immune to biases and manipulations). However, they are an interesting solution for producing evaluative representations of scientific content on a large scale [...] [...] Online reference managers are extraordinary productivity tools, but it would be a mistake to take this as their primary interest for the academic community.
