StackExchange uses a community driven knowledge creation process by allowing everyone who registers to participate in the community. Invested users also get access to moderation tools to help maintain the vast community. All posts on the StackExchangeplatform are publicly visible and also accessible for web search engines allowing non-users to benefit from the community. StackExchange keeps an archive of all questions and answer posted creating a knowledge archive for future visitors to look into. +Originally, StackExchange started with StackOverflow\footnote{\url{https://stackoverflow.com}} in 2008. %TODO add ref +Since then StackExchange grew into a platform hosting sites for 174 different topics, for instance programming (StackOverflow), maths (MathOverflow\footnote{\url {https://mathoverflow.net}} and Math StackExchange\footnote{\url {https://math.stackexchange.com}}), and type setting (TeX/LaTeX\footnote{\url {https://tex.stackexchange.com}}). +Questions on StackExchange are stated in natural English language and consist of a title, body containing a detailed description of the problem or information need, and tags to categorize the question. After a question is posted the community can submit answers to the question. The author of the question can then accept an appropiate answer which satisfies their question. The accepted answers is then marked as such and shown on top of all the other answers. Questions and answers can be up-/downvoted by every user registered on the site. Votes typically represent the quality of the respective question or answer. Answers with a high score raise to the top of the answer list as answers are sorted by the vote score in descending order by default. Voting also has an influence on a user's reputation \cite{stackexchangetour, movshovitz2013analysis}. When a post (question or answers) is voted upon the reputation of the poster changes accordingly. Furthermore, downvoting an answers also decreases the reputation of the user who voted. % TODO add ref why voter also loses reputation https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges/vote-down +Reputation on StackExchange shows how trustworthy a user is. To gain a high reputation value a user has to invest a lot of time and effort to reach a high reputation value through asking good questions and posting good answers to questions. Reputation also unlocks priviledges which may differ slightly from one community to another. %TODO ref https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges https://mathoverflow.net/help/privileges +With priviledges user can, for instance, create new tags, cast votes on closing or reopening questions, or even get access to moderation tools. +StackExchange also employs a badge system to steer the community. Some badges can be obtained by performing one time actions for instance reading the tour page, %add ref +or by performing certain actions multiple times. % TODO add ref +Furthermore, user can comment on every question and answer. This can be used for further clarifying and answer or a short discussion on a question or answer. +For each community on StackExchange a Meta page is offered where members of the respective community can discuss about the associated community. This place is also used by site admins to interact with the community. The Meta pages are also used for voting on new features. These Meta pages also run the same software as the CQA pages so users also vote the ideas and suggestions in same way they would do on the actual CQA sites. %TODO add ref + + % explain SO and SE in detail and how it works (https://stackexchange.com/tour) %- question answer platform with 174 sites for different topics, eg programming (biggest one), latex, ... %- questions and answers in natural language diff --git a/text/bib.bib b/text/bib.bib index 4e73678..81e6c7a 100644 --- a/text/bib.bib +++ b/text/bib.bib @@ -161,6 +161,12 @@ journal={\url{https://stackoverflow.blog/}\newline\url{2018/07/10/welcome-wagon-classifying-comments-on-stack-overflow/}}, year={2019} } +@article{stackexchangetour, + title={Tour - StackExchange}, + author={}, + journal={\url{https://stackexchange.com/tour}}, + year={2019} +} @inproceedings{yanovsky2019one, title={One Size Does Not Fit All: Badge Behavior in Q\&A Sites}, author={Yanovsky, Stav and Hoernle, Nicholas and Lev, Omer and Gal, Kobi}, diff --git a/text/main.tex b/text/main.tex index b604a93..09d6330 100644 --- a/text/main.tex +++ b/text/main.tex @@ -80,7 +80,7 @@ \newcommand{\mybiblatexbackref}{true} %% "true" or "false" %% If true: create backward links from reference to citations. -\newcommand{\mybiblatexfile}{references-biblatex.bib} +\newcommand{\mybiblatexfile}{bib.bib} %% Name of the biblatex file that holds the references. \newcommand{\mydispositioncolor}{30,103,182}
