Social psychology incentives are expected to weaken as the original volunteers lose energy or mature projects become less fast-paced and interesting.
“Conversely, social psychology incentives are expected to weaken as the original volunteers lose energy or mature projects become less fast-paced and interesting (Lerner and Tirole, 2002b, Dahlander and Magnusson, 2005).”

Volunteers will join projects that place a premium on creativity rather than algorithmic solutions; are neither too easy nor too difficult; are challenging, fun, and simple to learn; and are interesting, fast-moving and even glamorous.
“Volunteers will join projects that place a premium on creativity rather than algorithmic solutions; are neither too easy nor too difficult; are challenging, fun, and simple to learn; and are interesting, fast-moving and even glamorous (Dahlander and Magnusson, 2005, Kollock, 1999).”

Ideologically motivated licenses and norms pose formidable barriers for most firms.
“Many commentators argue that ideologically motivated licenses and norms pose formidable barriers for most firms (West, 2003, Dahlander and Magnusson, 2005, Bonnacorsi and Rossi, 2003, Dahlander, 2004).”

“This is partly related to the notion of innovation tool-kits (von Hippel and Katz, 2002), but does not necessarily have to do with outsourcing need-related innovations to users, but rather in governing the infrastructure in the intersection between the firm and the community.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
