I heard some great presentations at a
conference on crowdfunding today. Made me think about where the data come from. It wasn't scientific, but by my ear it seemed most of the researchers were using
Kickstarter data. How did they get it? Under what terms of use? What other
crowdfunding platforms will make their data available to researchers? I tweeted the question and got this answer:
Does every researcher need to negotiate their own deal with the platforms? Are there any standards or expectations about these data being available for research? Where do these type of data - generated by crowds, aggregated by private companies or nonprofits, fall into #open data conversations?
