Research Fellow
Research project funded by SISSA Medialab dedicated to the study (definition, design, implementation and evaluation) of Readersourcing 2.0, an ecosystem providing an implementation of an approach called Readersourcing, which is proposed as an alternative to the standard peer review activity that aims to exploit the otherwise lost opinions of readers. The general objective is to verify the effectiveness of crowdsourcing for quality measurement in scholarly publishing.
