PhD proposal: Specialized heuristics for crowdsourcing website design
1. Supporting the design and evaluationof
GLAM and academiccrowdsourcing websites
Donelle McKinley, PhD candidate, Information Systems
Supervisors: Dr Sydney Shep and Dr Brenda Chawner

2. Research context
ā¢ GLAM and academic crowdsourcing involves online volunteers creating or
enhancing data and digital resources (Carletti et al. 2013)
ā¢ Crowdsourcing still in an experimental phase (Lascarides, 2012) and not all
projects have been cost-effective (Dunn & Hedges, 2012)
ā¢ Key project objectives are sufficient online participation and
high-quality contributions (Oomen & Aroyo, 2011)
ā¢ Meeting these objectives requires an understanding of contextual factors,
effective project and system design, and evaluation and refinements to
achieve optimal performance (Brabham, 2013)
ā¢ Common project constraints include limited time, resources and expertise
(Causer & Wallace, 2012; Holley, 2010; Vershbow, 2013)
ā¢ Guidelines in use are based on case studies and do not focus on system
design and evaluation (Holley, 2009; Lascarides, 2012; Romeo & Blaser, 2011)

3. Research problem
ā¢ Scarcity of empirically-based guidance to inform design and evaluation of GLAM and
academic crowdsourcing projects and systems (Shirk et al., 2012; Wiggins, 2012; Zhao &
Zhu, 2012).
ā¢ No research to date has focused on the design or evaluation of GLAM and academic
crowdsourcing websites
Research strategy: Calls for human-computer interaction (HCI) research to help meet
project objectives (Bernstein et al., 2011; Oomen & Aroyo, 2011; Pan & Blevis, 2011).
Research aim: Develop a set of specialized heuristics that support the design and evaluation
of GLAM and academic crowdsourcing websites
Research question: How can a set of specialized heuristics support the design and
evaluation of GLAM and academic crowdsourcing websites?
1. What are the components of a set of specialized heuristics?
2. How can these specialized heuristics be structured and presented to support their
application in practice?

4. Research method: Action Design Research (ADR)
ā¢ A design research method that draws on Action Research
ā¢ ADR "conceptualizes the research process as containing the inseparable and
inherently interwoven activities of building the IT artifact, intervening in the
organization, and evaluating it concurrently" (Sein et al., 2011)
ā¢ Four stages of ADR (Sein et al., 2011)

5. Datacollection,analysisandinterpretation
5
ā¢ Research setting extends across multiple institutions and international
locations
ā¢ Dynamic pool of potential participants
ā¢ A priori criteria approach to purposive sampling uses the researcherās
conceptual framework for GLAM and academic crowdsourcing
ā¢ Multiple data collection techniques
ā¢ Iterative approach to heuristics development
6. Researchcontribution
ā¢ Contribute to IS theory for design and action (Gregor, 2006) and design
research by generating design principles for crowdsourcing website design
and specialized heuristics development
ā¢ Support crowdsourcing website design and evaluation practice with a
new, robust and flexible tool selected and customized for the context of use
ā¢ Contribute to crowdsourcing literature by presenting a focused study on
crowdsourcing website design and evaluation
ā¢ Contribute to HCI literature by presenting a study that incorporates and
builds on existing theory and recent research
