Paper accepted at the ICSE New Ideas Track

We are happy to announce that Steffen Herbold's paper With Registered Reports Towards Large Scale Data Curation was accepted for publication at the New Ideas and Emerging Results track of the 42nd International Conference on Software Engineering. The paper proposes an approach for crowd sourcing research tasks based on the concept behind Amazon's mechanical turk. The critical differences are that the research projects are in the form of pre-registered studies and that the motivation for the contribution to the crowd working is not monetary, but credit in the form of authorship. The International Conference on Software Engineering is the most important conference in the field of software engineering and, together with the top journals in the field, one of the most reputable venues for research publications.
