Abstract
This poster reports on a nine month scoping survey of research in the arts and humanities involving crowd-sourcing. This study proposed a twelve-facet typology of research processes currently in use, and these are reported here, along with the context of current research practice, the types of research assets which are currently being exposed to crowd-sourcing, and the sorts of outputs (including digital libraries and collections) which such projects are producing.
