The [[Community Data Science Collective]] is an interdisciplinary research group made of up of faculty and students at the [http://www.com.washington.edu/ University of Washington Department of Communication] and the [http://www.communication.northwestern.edu/departments/communicationstudies/ Northwestern University Department of Communication Studies]. | |||
We are social scientists applying a range of quantitative and qualitative methods to the study of online communities. We seek to understand both how and why some attempts at collaborative production — like Wikipedia and Linux — build large volunteer communities and high quality work products. | |||
Our research is particularly focused on how the design of communication and information technologies shape fundamental social outcomes with broad theoretical and practical implications — like an individual’s decision to join a community, contribute to a public good, or a group’s ability to make decisions democratically. | |||
Our research is deeply interdisciplinary, most frequently consists of “big data” quantitative analyses, and lies at the intersection of communication, sociology, and human-computer interaction. | |||
The group is led by [http://mako.cc/academic/ Benjamin Mako Hill] and [http://aaronshaw.org/ Aaron Shaw]. | |||
