Abstract

Social Q&A sites such as Yahoo! Answers and Naver Knowledge-iN have become a viable method for information seeking and sharing on the Web. Considering their immense popularity and growing concerns about their validity as information sources, questions about the credibility of the information provided on social Q&As are timely. Therefore, this paper summarizes recent research on credibility related to the social Q&A context, identifies research gaps, and presents a research agenda for future research to advance this newly developing area.

야후 앤서(Yahoo! Answers)와 네이버 지식인과 같은 지식검색 커뮤니티는 인터넷에서 정보를 찾고 공유하는 중요한 수단으로 부상하였다. 그러나 지식검색 커뮤니티의 인기가 날로 높아지는 것과 비례하여 정보자원으로서의 유효성에 대한 우려 또한 커지고 있는 것이 주지의 사실이다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 논문은 지식검색 커뮤니티와 관련된 신뢰성 문제에 대한 선행 연구들을 정리하고 향후 연구 과제를 제시함으로써 지식검색 커뮤니티 신뢰성에 관한 연구를 활성화시키는데 도움이 되고자 한다.
