Abstract

This research article addresses the current status and emerging trends in the literature at the intersection of crowdsourcing and innovation. While separate reviews exist for crowdsourcing and innovation individually, a comprehensive literature review specific to their intersection is lacking. Therefore, this study conducts a bibliometric meta-analysis of the extensive body of literature in the field of innovation and crowdsourcing, aiming to fill this research gap. The analysis encompasses all articles in Elsevier's Scopus database that incorporate relevant terms in their titles, abstracts, or keywords, resulting in a sample of 180 articles. VosViewer and Bibliometrix package in R are employed for the analysis. The analysis reveals three key research clusters, including the role of crowdsourcing in fostering organizational innovation, crowdsourcing-based social capital formation and its impact on organizational value creation, and the role of crowdsourcing platforms in facilitating engagement between the crowd and the organization. Adopting a holistic perspective, this research contributes new insights into the interconnections between crowdsourcing and innovation research fields. Additionally, the analysis provides clarity on research content, evolutionary context, and reveals emerging research trends in this domain.

众包与创新的过去、现在和未来：文献计量分析与未来研究议程

这篇研究文章探讨了众包与创新交叉领域的文献现状和新趋势。虽然对众包和创新分别进行了综述，但缺乏专门针对二者交叉点的全面文献综述。因此，本研究对创新和众包领域的大量文献进行了文献计量元分析，旨在填补这一研究空白。分析涵盖了爱思唯尔 Scopus 数据库中所有在标题、摘要或关键词中包含相关术语的文章，共得出 180 篇文章样本。分析使用了 VosViewer 和 Bibliometrix R 软件包。分析揭示了三个关键的研究集群，包括众包在促进组织创新中的作用、基于众包的社会资本形成及其对组织价值创造的影响，以及众包平台在促进众包与组织之间互动中的作用。本研究从整体角度出发，对众包与创新研究领域之间的相互联系提出了新的见解。此外，分析还明确了研究内容、演变背景，并揭示了该领域的新兴研究趋势。
