This page documents work related to the NSF Cyber-Human Systems grant Modeling the Ecological Dynamics of Online Organizations (official link), (project description / proposal).
The overarching goal of this work is to understand ecological dynamics between online communities. Our concept of ecological dynamics is taken from ecological science in biology and from research in organizational and community ecology in organizational sociology and communication. The grant proposal elaborates a series of quantitative projects that will by-and-large test whether general findings from biology and organizational studies will apply to online communities. But there are also lots of reasons (and some empirical results) that suggest that the story won't be so simple. So we're also interested in considering qualitative projects that will help us to anticipate and explain findings from the quantitative studies. This might mean understanding how relationships between related communities are experienced and mediated.
