you raise an important issue which i think is a key question
for how the art science technology community can work
together
as you know on arteca.mit.edu we are giving free
access to anyone who contributes to the content (authors)
quality (peer reviewers and betatesters) or the relevance
(editorial advisors)
this came out of discussions with anthropologist james leach
who has studied the art science community as an embedded
anthropologist- he also studies groups in new guinea and other
societies which function of gift exchange rather than financial
exchange
as you say we need to invent a gift exchange culture that works
on line so we can all invest the time to improve all our work !!
maybe yasminers have experience with gift exchange mechanisms on line
and can make recommendation- there are a number of on line communities
doing this productively- maybe yasmin can be a testbed for this
so THANK you for making you collection of articles and books your are
collecting available open access to people who contribute content !!

This includes the project bibliography, a critical literature review, and — if we feel that it will be useful, an annotated bibliography. The bibliographies will be announced and circulated, and they will be made available under a Creative Commons license. The critical literature review will most likely be published in an open access journal, but if it is not published open access, the final author's pre-publication draft will be made available open access. All of these will be available on my Academia page.

This was before Internet and email, and long before online survey technology. Surveys were printed on paper and delivered in envelopes by uniformed members of the United States Post Office with return envelopes for the completed surveys of those who answered the questions. Surveys generally involved people you did not know, and if you were a doctoral student, the people you attempted to survey most definitely did not know you.

For example, this might be a sample of all female voters in selected election districts in the states of California, Colorado, and Connecticut. The protocol for targeted surveys was simpler, except that they weren't random. For example, someone might want to ask every city council member in an American city with more than 5,000,000 inhabitants about council member response to voter complaints. Or someone might want to survey the executive officer of every missile-bearing submarine in the United States Navy to ask about crew morale on long deep sea cruises. Or perhaps someone might want to survey university psychology professors on how to get a good survey response.

> Getting would-be survey participants to respond could be a real problem. If one did not get enough answers relative to the population size and the survey sample, it might create problems. This is why, to this day, so many researchers in different fields use populations drawn from easily accessible groups — such as university students. In many cases, this is quite workable — especially in simple experiments for such fields as behavioral economics. For surveys, it was different.

> The search for effective incentives was endless. For example, someone found that attaching a $5 bill to the survey letter increased the response rate significantly. It was obvious that people could keep the money whether they responded or not — but the fact that they were given a gift with cash value increased the response rate. This is the same principle the charities use in sending cards, key rings, memory sticks, or return address stickers as gifts with the donation pitch. It works, too, even on intelligent people. One elderly relative — a former university professor — always sent a small check. Unfortunately, that made him a target for further mailings. When he died, his kids found a drawer in his house stuffed with giveaway memory sticks from different charities. Another drawer had several dozen packages of return address labels.

In other cases, different terms indicate the same approach, method, or perspective. More confusing still, some of these terms designate approaches, methods, or perspectives that could easily be characterized using standard research terms from the social sciences, natural sciences, humanities, or liberal arts. While artists, designers, architects, composers, or other practitioners of the fine arts or creative arts have done the projects, these could well be projects by researchers in other fields.
