“…UGC gives organizations a unique view into the lives of ordinary people; more and more organizations consult UGC when designing new products, providing commercial services, shaping public policy, or conducting scientific research. Explicit open calls to members of the general public for specific information underlie the booming practice of crowdsourcing (Deng et al 2016;Ghezzi et al 2017;Love and Hirschheim 2017;Lukyanenko and Parsons 2018). To offer crowd services at massive scale, platforms like Amazon's Mechanical Turk and CrowdFlower.com allow companies to tap into thousands of paid crowd workers (Chittilappilly et al 2016;Deng et al 2016;Garcia-Molina et al 2016;Li et al 2016;Stewart et al 2015).…”

The rapid proliferation of online content producing and sharing technologies resulted in an explosion of user-generated content (UGC), which now extends to scientific data. Citizen science, in which ordinary people contribute information for scientific research, epitomizes UGC. Citizen science projects are typically open to everyone, engage diverse audiences, and challenge ordinary people to produce data of highest quality to be usable in science. This also makes citizen science a very exciting area to study both traditional and innovative approaches to information quality management. With this paper we position citizen science as a leading information quality research frontier. We also show how citizen science opens a unique opportunity for the information systems community to contribute to a broad range of disciplines in natural and social sciences and humanities.

“…We also encourage the application of many other established literary genres (e.g., drama, fiction, parody, satire, comics) to convey IS scholarship. Last but not least, we hope this special issue stimulates increased exploration of media-enabled research practices as outlined by Love & Hirschheim (2017), as well as media-enriched genres of (re)presentation, including video and agent-based conversations. Additionally, multimedia could be used to convey data and evidence from interviews as dynamic visual presentations of insightful data patterns, and virtual and augmented reality technologies might be employed to develop genres such as immersive experience of phenomena or research insights.…”

“…Although open peer review is not prevalent today, it is already practiced in the natural sciences where it is touted as a way to enhance the effectiveness, transparency, and quality assurance of published papers (Ford, 2015). Building on the crowdsourcing research genre outlined by Love & Hirschheim (2017), a certain form of open peer review is likely to help facilitating the review and development of alternative genre papers.…”

In this special issue, we advocate a critical stance toward the presentational conventions that we -as authors, reviewers, and editors -accept as the academic article genre. We seek to highlight and illustrate the generative capacity and the significant role of genres in the production of knowledge. Furthermore, we wish to encourage Information Systems (IS) scholars to leverage a wider array of alternative genres to present their research in order to develop new insights on subject matters of interest to the IS discipline, as well as expand on how contemporary and emergent phenomena of interest are conceived and studied. Adopting a broad view of alternative genres, we solicited articles that apply unconventional presentational modalities to expand or challenge the prevailing modus operandi of communicating IS scholarship and practice. Six articles survived a rather lengthy and challenging review process. We briefly discuss the nature of the academic article genre and the role of alternative ways of writing. We also introduce the six exemplars of alternative genres in the special issue, namely conversation, French new novel, meditation, memoir, allegory, and crowdsourced research. We highlight key insights and contemplate their implications for current and future IS research.

“…However, for the purpose of our study, we slightly adapted the framework (see figure 2). To this end, we follow a procedure similar to that proposed by Love & Hirschheim [41] who had adapted Pedersens framework by certain dimensions of Leavitt's [42] four component model. Thus, we replace the dimension process by the dimension task.…”

Innovating Beyond the Fuzzy Front End: How to Use Reward-Based Crowdfunding to Co-create with Customers

Current research suggests that crowdfunding not only serves as an alternative source of capital but also as a flexible tool allowing start-ups to systematically integrate a crowd into their innovation processes. However, an adequate understanding of how start-ups can systematically leverage the co-creation potential of their early customers during crowdfunding is still nascent. Against this background, the aim of this research is to conceptualize and examine the concept of co-creation in the context of reward-based crowdfunding. In doing so, we distinguish it from other methods of user integration in the realm of open innovation and discuss how entrepreneurs can leverage reward-based crowdfunding to engage their customers in the development and deployment of their product and service offerings.
