两个社区的故事:探索 Stack Overflow 上的学术参考文献

A Tale of Two Communities: Exploring Academic References on Stack Overflow

Run Huang, Souti Chattopadhyay

AI总结:

本文通过大规模探索性研究分析 Stack Overflow 上的学术参考文献,揭示不同社区引用学术文献的频率与速度差异,并探讨其衡量学术研究现实相关性的潜力。

摘要:

Stack Overflow 被软件从业者广泛视为解决技术问题和分享实用方案的首选资源。尽管它通常不被视为学术论坛,Stack Overflow 上的用户却经常在讨论中引用学术来源。然而,人们对这些被引用的学术成果以及它们如何与 Stack Overflow 社区的需求和兴趣相交几乎一无所知。为弥合这一空白,我们开展了一项探索性的大规模研究,考察 Stack Overflow 上学术参考文献的整体格局。我们的发现表明,具有不同兴趣领域的 Stack Overflow 社区在接触学术文献的频率和速度上存在差异。这些相互矛盾的模式表明,某些学科的兴趣和发展轨迹可能已经与相应的从业者社区发生了偏离。最后,我们讨论了 Stack Overflow 在衡量学术研究的现实相关性方面的潜力。

英文摘要:

Stack Overflow is widely recognized by software practitioners as the go-to resource for addressing technical issues and sharing practical solutions. While not typically seen as a scholarly forum, users on Stack Overflow commonly refer to academic sources in their discussions. Yet, little is known about these referenced academic works and how they intersect the needs and interests of the Stack Overflow community. To bridge this gap, we conducted an exploratory large-scale study on the landscape of academic references in Stack Overflow. Our findings reveal that Stack Overflow communities with different domains of interest engage with academic literature at varying frequencies and speeds. The contradicting patterns suggest that some disciplines may have diverged in their interests and development trajectories from the corresponding practitioner community. Finally, we discuss the potential of Stack Overflow in gauging the real-world relevance of academic research.
