What motivates online community contributors to contribute consistently? A case study on Stackoverflow netizens.
Article in Current psychology (New Brunswick, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Online Question and answer (Q&A) communities are the common and famous platforms to learn and share knowledge and are very useful for every knowledge seeker. Less knowledge contribution is a critical issue for the sustainability and future of these platforms. The motivation of inactive users to participate in Q&A communities is a real challenge. Based on the social cognitive and social exchange theory, we have studied the knowledge contribution patterns of active and consistent StackOverflow users over the last eleven years. We have used a difference generalized method of moments estimator to estimate the proposed model. Results revealed that reciprocation of knowledge and social interaction positively, whereas knowledge seeking of active and consistent users negatively influences knowledge contribution. Peer recognition and repudiation have partially positive and negative effects on users' knowledge contribution. This research offers theoretical and practical suggestions to encourage people to contribute their knowledge to online Q&A communities.
