    Modern think tank is one of the key symbols of modernization of national governance system and governance capacity. At the beginning of the 20th century, modern think tank came into being in Britain and America due to the increasing complexity of social, economic and national governance, and the empirical decision-making mode was insufficient. After more than a century, modern think tank has not only become a mature industry based on advanced knowledge, but also completed the institutionalized construction of the knowledge system of relevant think tank, which has become an important research field of mainstream social science, formed a stable research community, and bred a number of high-level research results. Think tank knowledge system and think tank practice formed a benign interaction. However, as the independent consciousness of think tank construction in China has just awakened and the practice of think tank has just started, all parties lack a clear understanding of the importance, significance and path of the institutionalized construction of think tank knowledge system, and the institutionalized construction of think tank knowledge system is still in the spontaneous stage. This paper argues that from the perspective of discourse system, discipline system and academic system, it is necessary to promote the institutionalization of the think tank knowledge system in China, so that the think tank knowledge system can be embedded into the mainstream social science, and realize the early evolution of the think tank knowledge system from the previous scientific stage to the conventional scientific stage.

    The development of media technology has changed the social dissemination pattern. Think tank dissemination is an important factor affecting the development of think tanks, and it is also an important part of the construction of new types of think tanks. This paper analyzes the significance of think tank dissemination for the construction of new types of think tanks, and discusses the direction of think tank dissemination innovation in the construction of new types of think tanks. Then, this paper takes CTTI source think tank as an example to analyzes the current status of dissemination, and summarize the problems existing in the current think tank dissemination, such as the weak awareness of dissemination, the single channel of dissemination, the monotony content of dissemination and the imperfect dissemination strategy. Finally, this paper puts forward that the new types of think tanks should establish the profound consciousness of dissemination, build diversified dissemination channels, develop high-quality dissemination content, expand international dissemination capacity and focus on dissemination flexibility.

    Think tank records are main carriers of the knowledge of think tanks. Record management & control (RMC) not only serves the internal knowledge management of think tanks, but also empower the operation of think tanks. Based on the investigation and interview with front-line workers from Chinese think tanks, this paper analyzes the relevant status of utilization management of records in think tanks, and puts forward the RMC framework for think tank internal utilization--including the basic process of record management, and the control elements of governance, manager, technology and the whole process--by combining the characteristics of the new think tanks. To promote the application of the framework and to improve the effectiveness of RMC, the new think tanks should enhance the awareness of the RMC, attach importance to the top level design of the RMC of think tanks, promote the construction of the think tank information management system, innovate the management mechanism of think tanks.

    This paper examines the role of relevant gamified elements in inspiring users participation from the perspective of gamification. Firstly, this paper reviews the literature on gamification and its application in citizen science platforms. Then, 16 gamification elements of the citizen science platform are divided into four dimensions, namely task design, interaction design, feedback design and reward design, and the related reliability and validity are examined. Next, gamification elements of the citizen science platforms are classified into attractive, one-dimensional, must-be, indifferent and reverse quality, and the weights of gamification elements are calculated by using Kano model. The results show that weights of the task completion reward and stage reward in reward design dimension, the ranking in interaction design dimension, difficulty identification and story plot in task design dimension, and real-time information feedback in feedback design dimension play important roles. Finally, this paper puts forward some suggestions for the gamification design of citizen science platforms based on the findings.

    The gamification design of Citizen Science Projects has not yet formed a unified and systematic theoretical research results. Researchers lack a quantitative evaluation index system to guide and evaluate the gamification design of citizen science projects. After combing the literature related to the evaluation index of gamification design, the study constructs the evaluation index system of gamification design of citizen science projects. This evaluation index system includes four dimensions: educational goals, scientific goals, game interaction experience, and system security. After collecting the data of experts and analyzing the weight coefficients of each index by using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), this study finds that education and science are still the main considerations of citizen science projects' gamification design, while users' game interaction experience and system security are in the secondary position, which suggests that researchers are more likely to use gamification as an auxiliary design tool. Finally, the evaluation index system is used to evaluate the gamification design of the Foldit project. The shortcomings of the gamification design in the existing public science projects are summarized, and the future gamification development strategies are put forward.

    Citizen science projects are growing in popularity amongst academia and industry as a means to collect data and solve scientific problems. In the initial stage of citizen science projects, how to motivate participants is a great challenge. Therefore, our study focuses on the cold start phase of citizen science projects in digital humanities domain and conducts an empirical study on the motivation of volunteers' participation in those projects. First, this study proposed main influence factors of volunteers' participation in citizen science projects from three dimensions: platforms, tasks, and volunteers. Then based on S-O-R theory, an empirical model of volunteers' motivations in the cold start stage was established. After that, the authors collected data through questionnaires and tested the hypotheses by SmartPLS 3.0. Results show that factors at the platform dimension and task dimension have an impact on volunteers' cognition and emotion levels, and volunteers' perceived usefulness, self-efficacy, enjoyment and commitment have a positive impact on volunteers' participation intention. Finally, some suggestions are put forward for the practical development of citizen science projects from the perspectives of organization structure, platform design and task design.

    Crowdsourcing transcription projects in digital humanity domain are of great significance to the transcription, storage, disseminate and development of cultural heritage. However, because of the heavy workload and the high-level professionalism in the crowdsourcing projects, it becomes necessary to ensure the performance of crowdsourcing tasks. This paper adopts Transcribe-Sheng Project, one of the typical crowdsourcing projects in digital humanity domain in China, as a case. We conduct a quasi-experiment to explore the difference of task performance in the crowdsourcing transcription projects from two perspectives-task complexity and domain knowledge. Our findings reveal that both task complexity and domain knowledge significantly influence task performance. What's more, there is an interaction effect exists between task complexity and domain knowledge on task performance. Based on these findings, we provide some practical suggestions on task design, participants' recruitment and task fit for the crowdsourcing transcription projects in digital humanity domain in China.

    Citizen science projects are composed of two groups: project initiators (scientists, government agencies, etc.) and project participants (volunteers), whose effective cooperation is key to the effective implementation of projects. Current research focuses on the willingness of public participation, but ignores the prerequisite of cooperation-trust. Based on Trust Building Model, this study proposes main influence factors of volunteers' trust in citizen science projects from four aspects: reputation, website quality, information quality, and institutional structural factors. Through a scenario-based questionnaire, the authors conducted OLS regression on 179 valid data. Data results show that scientist reputation, project initiator reputation, website usability, information publicity, information interaction, and public privacy protection have significant positive impacts on volunteers' trust in citizen science projects, while ease of website use had no significant influence on volunteers' trust.

    In view of the incompleteness of the current research on the evaluation of book influence, this paper explores and analyses the motivation of books being cited in the citation literature from the perspective of citation content. Firstly, based on the existing research, three classification criteria of citation motivation are summarized: use, comparison and background citation. Then, the citation content information of Chinese books in the citation literature of five disciplines was obtained, and the motivation label of the citation was marked. Finally, the distribution of book cited motivation and its relationship with citation location and length was analyzed. Empirical analysis shows that the proportion of "use" in book-citing motivation is relatively large. At the same time, there is a significant correlation between citation motivation and citation location, but no significant correlation with citation length. In addition, there are differences in the motives of citation of books in different disciplines.
