摘要

GitHub目前在开源软件(OSS)开发人员中的突出地位引起了对SourceForge数据持续相关性的质疑,以及使用SourceForge数据调查OSS理论的研究的外部有效性和相关性。在本文中,我们调查了SourceForge数据的持续相关性,并提出使用SourceForge或GitHub数据不是一个非此即彼的命题,而是一个更大图景的两个部分。为了呼应IS文献中对理论语境化的呼吁,我们强调了两个数据源中明显存在的许多显著不同的语境因素,并认为可以利用来自GitHub和SourceForge的数据进行比较和复制研究,以获得更丰富的OSS理论。为了能够参与跨背景比较研究和在多种背景下复制OSS研究,我们建议更广泛的IS社区应该拥抱开放研究的文化,以增加IS研究的透明度、可复制性和严谨性。

The Relevance of SourceForge Data in the Age of GitHub
GitHub's current prominence over SourceForge among Open Source Software (OSS) developers calls into question the continued relevance of SourceForge data, as well as the external validity and relevance of studies that investigate OSS theories using SourceForge data. In this paper, we investigate the continued relevance of SourceForge data and propose that using SourceForge or GitHub data is not an either/or proposition but rather two parts of a bigger picture. Echoing the call in the IS literature to contextualize theories, we highlight a number of significantly different contextual factors apparent in the two data sources and argue that data from both GitHub and SourceForge may be leveraged in comparative and replication studies to arrive at richer OSS theories. To enable engagement in cross-context comparative studies and the replication of OSS studies in multiple contexts, we suggest that the broader IS community should embrace a culture of open research to increase the transparency, replicability, and rigorousness of IS research.
