Evolution of Platform-based Open Source Ecosystems: Uncovering Socio-Technical Dynamics Using Digital Traces
Müller, M., Diegmann, P., Rosenkranz, C.
Methodological precursor to the MIS Quarterly paper; anticipates work on algorithmic actors in open development communities.
My role: designed and partly executed the trace data extraction pipeline; wrote substantial parts of the manuscript.
Study
A research-in-progress study of open-source ecosystems using digital trace data, covering 58,548 crawled modules.
Why it matters in practice
Digital traces show how platform ecosystems evolve socio-technically, which matters for anyone maintaining shared dependencies.
