The Bystander Effect With Crowdsourcing GIS Data

There are many companies that provide free services based on voluntarily contributed data. However, it was recently found that users are less inclined to contribute if they know others are already contributing. This could have a negative effect in diminishing accuracy or utility for public sites that need to have a large number of contributions to ensure accuracy.
