There's No Such Thing as the Perfect Map: Quantifying Bias in Spatial Crowd-sourcing Datasets (2015, methodology): “Crowd-sourcing has been used to accomplish a variety of tasks [3]: from distributed human intelligence tasking, as exempliﬁed by the open calls usually appearing http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2675133.2675235 on Amazon Mechanical Turk, to scientiﬁc (objective) problem solving; from peer-vetted…”
Redefining graduate employability and work-integrated learning: Proposals for effective higher education in disrupted economies (2015, background): “Brabham (2013) defines crowdsourcing as an online, distributed problem-solving and production model that leverages the collective intelligence of online communities to serve specific organizational goals (p. xix) and delineates four categories: knowledge discovery and management; broadcast search;…”
Evaluation on crowdsourcing research: Current status and future direction (2012, background): “…own definitions for crowdsourcing, based on a diverse set of practices and a number of different theoretical bases and models, and some researchers even state several versions of definitions (e.g., Brabham has two versions and Howe has more than three versions) (Brabham 2008a, b; Howe 2006, 2008).”
Algorithms at Work: The New Contested Terrain of Control (2020, background): “…worker outcomes associated with the use algorithmic systems, high-lighting how this use may enable geographically dispersed people to come together (Brabham, 2013); give workers high levels of flexibility and autonomy (McAfee & Brynjolfsson, 2017); create better matching between the supply and…”

(2016, unknown): “…tail’(Anderson, 2006), the generosity stemming from ‘cognitive surplus’ (Shirky, 2010), the celebration of crowdsourcing as a model for problem solving (Brabham, 2013; Brabham, 2008; Gehl, 2011), the philosophical praise of its virtues (Benkler & Nissenbaum, 2006), and the promise of increased…”
Three provocations for civic crowdfunding (2014, background): “One consequence of this discursive trend is that the presumption of weakness of the public sector may, according to researchers such as Brabham (2013), become self-perpetuating and lead to further disinvestment from public services by governments.”
