[AISWorld] 'Crowdsourcing for a Better World' Wins 2 Awards

[Sallie Gregson]

Dear all,
Daniel Schlagwein and Katherine Choy, the authors of Crowdsourcing for a Better World: On the relation between IT affordances and donor motivations in charitable crowdfunding, have been awarded both the AIS Best Information Systems Publications Award and the ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Social Informatics Best Paper Award.
The paper was published in a special issue of the journal Information Technology & People called 'Social Information Systems' which was guest edited by Helen Hasan and Henry Linger. http://www.emeraldinsight.com/toc/itp/29/1
The winning paper is about two charitable online crowdfunding campaigns, comparing between the two campaigns, and more importantly against offline/conventional charity (such as charity events, door knocks, bake sales etc.). 90% of charity is done using conventional methods. The authors hope the paper provides practitioners with good data and reasoning why they should consider crowdfunding their campaigns.
It was also selected by the Information Technology & People Editors as the outstanding paper published in the journal in 2016.

If you have any questions please send them my way.
Best wishes,
Sallie
