摘要:

银河动物园公民科学网站邀请任何有互联网连接的人通过对斯隆数字巡天的星系进行分类来参与研究。截至2009年4月,超过200,000名志愿者已经完成了超过1亿个星系分类。在本文中,我们提出了一个试点研究的动机和人口统计学的银河动物园志愿者的结果,并定义了一种技术,以确定从自由的反应,可用于较大的多项选择调查与类似的人群的动机。我们的分类构成了未来调查的基础,目的是确定每种动机的普遍性。

英文摘要:

The Galaxy Zoo citizen science website invites anyone with an Internet connection to participate in research by classifying galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. As of April 2009, more than 200,000 volunteers had made more than 100 million galaxy classifications. In this paper, we present results of a pilot study into the motivations and demographics of Galaxy Zoo volunteers, and define a technique to determine motivations from free responses that can be used in larger multiple-choice surveys with similar populations. Our categories form the basis for a future survey, with the goal of determining the prevalence of each motivation.
