Community members comment on a final draft version of a book and highlight possible improvements. A database of over 43.000 comments was compiled, which allows for the formulation of novel research questions. Two of those (“small details vs. big picture” and “reviewer fatigue”) are tested in this paper. Furthermore, the paper shows that Community Proofreading can serve as a tool to attract new authors.Community ProofreadingCommunity EngagementPaperHiveEvaluation[SHS.INFO]Humanities and Social Sciences/Library and information sciencesHal authorisation v12019-06-112019-06-112019-06-11engjournal article https://hal.science/hal-02143202v110.5281/zenodo.306300310.5281/zenodo.3063004open accesshttp://elpub.episciences.org/5562/pdfVoRapplication/pdfElPub - ELectronic PUBlishingAcademic publishing and digital bibliodiversityLong PapersResearchersStudents
