从询问到询问:更多地参与堆栈溢出
From Asking to Answering: Getting More Involved on Stack Overflow
摘要:
像Stack Overflow和维基百科这样的在线知识平台依赖于一个庞大而多样化的贡献者社区。尽管努力促进新用户的加入,但成为核心贡献者的用户相对较少,这表明存在阻碍充分参与社区的障碍或障碍。本文探讨了堆栈溢出,一个广泛流行的问答社区的计算机编程等问题。我们记录了“泄漏管道”的证据,特别是平台上有许多活跃用户从未发布答案。以此为起点,我们调查了可能与新贡献者从提问到发布答案的转变有关的潜在因素。我们发现用户的个人特征,如任期,性别和地理位置,以及他们最活跃的子社区的特征,如其规模和负面社会反馈的流行程度,与他们发布答案的可能性有显着的关系。通过测量和建模这些关系,我们的论文提出了第一次看到的挑战和障碍,用户推广沿管道的贡献,在网上社区。
英文摘要:
Online knowledge platforms such as Stack Overflow and Wikipedia rely on a large and diverse contributor community. Despite efforts to facilitate onboarding of new users, relatively few users become core contributors, suggesting the existence of barriers or hurdles that hinder full involvement in the community. This paper investigates such issues on Stack Overflow, a widely popular question and answer community for computer programming. We document evidence of a "leaky pipeline", specifically that there are many active users on the platform who never post an answer. Using this as a starting point, we investigate potential factors that can be linked to the transition of new contributors from asking questions to posting answers. We find a user's individual features, such as their tenure, gender, and geographic location, as well as features of the subcommunity in which they are most active, such as its size and the prevalence of negative social feedback, have a significant relationship with their likelihood to post answers. By measuring and modeling these relationships our paper presents a first look at the challenges and obstacles to user promotion along the pipeline of contributions in online communities.
