Special Issue Introduction
Online platforms foster the communication capabilities of the Internet to develop Internet-based communities, where millions of users interact in real-time and share opinions and knowledge. This type of community, also known as social networks, represents an excellent scenario to carry out crowd-based decision-making since they involve a huge population in the so-called e-collaborative and e-democracy processes. Therefore, they might present an inestimable tool for governments and policymakers to leverage the wisdom of the crowds in the decision-making processes.
However, this scenario also poses several research challenges as it involves a large number of experts coming from different backgrounds and/or with different levels of knowledge and influence, and so issues such as scalability, trust definition, and propagation, influence assessment, information modeling, consensus, and information aggregation, among others may arise.
