abstract = "Citizen science projects are those which recruit volunteers to
participate as assistants in scientific studies. Since these
projects depend on volunteer efforts, understanding the motivation
that drives a volunteer to collaborate is important to ensure its
success. One way to understand motivation is by interviewing the
volunteers. While this approach may elicit detailed information on
the volunteers' motivation and actions, it is restricted to a
subset of willing participants. For web-based projects we could
instead use logs of volunteers' activities, which measures which
volunteer did what and when for all volunteers in a project. In
this work we present some metrics that can be calculated from the
logs, based on a model of interaction. We also comment on the
applicability of those metrics, describe an ongoing work that may
yield more precise logs and metrics and comment on issues for
further research.",
