Abstract

The development of an Open Knowledge Exchange (OKE) system, designed to free knowledge dissemination from the bottleneck of traditional peer review methods, requires careful consideration of not only the technical capabilities such a system should provide, but also how users' rights and privileges should be distributed amongst contributing authors, conference organizers, and registered system users/reviewers to ensure a fair and legitimate sociotechnical system. A survey was developed and administered to solicit input from prospective users regarding these issues. Survey results indicated that researchers' assumptions of what would constitute a fair system did not always agree with users' responses, particularly in the areas of paper rating, social networking functions, and required community participation.
