Abstract

In scientific process, hypothesis generation is one the most important steps where creativity is needed most. As the science becomes more open and data-driven, it becomes interesting to analyse whether a crowdsourcing approach might be beneficial in this step. First, we characterize the process as a design process. Then, based on a real-life case study, we analyse and highlight difficulties and challenges for crowd-based hypothesis generation. Last, we give a generic process model for organizing in similar challenges in other data-based scientific hypothesis generation contexts.

Keywords: crowdsourcing, data driven design, design science, hypothesis generation
