Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a literature review of a PhD that looks at the role and impact of lurkers in e-participation. The review defines and re-defines lurking, looks at reasons why online participants prefer to lurk and how they can be encouraged to participate. In the context of e-participation though, lurking and strategies to reduce it may need to look at other issues and factors. This review concludes by raising the question whether de-lurking is always the best strategy and considers how to understand lurkersÂ’ roles in e-participation |
