The epistemology(s) of volunteered geographic information: a critique [PDF]
Geo: Geography and Environment, 2015 Numerous exegeses have been written about the epistemologies of volunteered geographic information (VGI). We contend that VGI is itself a socially constructed epistemology crafted in the discipline of geography, which when re‐examined, does not sit comfortably with either GIScience or critical GIS scholarship.

VOLUNTEER GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION IN AFRICA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019 Abstract. During the past few years much effort has been put into developing community-based methods to capture and analyze a large amount of data in a systematic manner. This new source of geo-referenced data could be very important throughout Africa where crowd sourcing activities or volunteered geographic information (VGI) enhance participation and ...

Barriers to the Localness of Volunteered Geographic Information [PDF]
Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2015 Localness is an oft-cited benefit of volunteered geographic information (VGI). This study examines whether localness is a constant, universally shared benefit of VGI, or one that varies depending on the context in which it is produced. Focusing on articles about geographic entities (e.g. cities, points of interest) in 79 language editions of Wikipedia,
