The impact of polices on government social media usage: Issues, challenges, and recommendations (2012, background): “This many-to-many interaction allows large groups of geographically dispersed users to produce valuable information resources (Benkler, 2002), solve challenging problems by tapping into unique and rare expertise (Brabham, 2008), and gain diverse insights and perspectives through discussion.”
Reward System Design and Group Creativity: An Experimental Investigation (2012, methodology): “For example, InnoCentive (launched with funding from Eli Lilly) provides a platform where companies such as Boeing and Dupont post pressing R&D challenges to the scientific community and provide financial rewards to teams with the best solutions (Brabham 2008).”

Mobile Crowd Sensing and Computing (2015, background): “From the AI perspective, MCSC is founded on a distributed problem-solving model [Brabham 2008].”
Evaluation on crowdsourcing research: Current status and future direction (2012, background): “Many non-profit organizations have adopted crowdsourcing as an effective model for problem-solving (Brabham 2008a, 2010; Brito 2008).”
Towards an integrated crowdsourcing definition (2012, background): “The second refers to the fact that the crowd has to solve problems [8,9,4,33,34,37], in many cases for companies.”

QualityCrowd — A framework for crowd-based quality evaluation (2012, background): “However, even rather complex services can be crowdsourced, like creative tasks such as the generation of new business ideas [10], all kinds of professional design work [10] or even financial services via crowd-funding [11].”
Citizen Participation, Open Innovation, and Crowdsourcing (2013, background): “Brabham (2008a) describes crowdsourcing as a web-based business model that utilizes an open call to glean innovative solutions to firm problems or needs.”
Crowdfunding social ventures: a model and research agenda (2013, neutral): “Scholars see the roots of CF in a movement that has been labelled as crowdsourcing, which comprises using the crowd to obtain ideas, feedback and solutions in order to develop corporate activities (Brabham 2008; Howe 2006; Kleemann et al. 2008).”
