Peer rating is a method to give merit ratings or onors to a page in Opasnet. Peer rating has a scale from 0 to 100, but it can be converted to onors with an inverse logarithmic transformation (1 on the peer rating scale equals 0.13 onors, 10 equals 1 onor, and 100 equals 1,000,000,000 onors).

Scope

What is such a method to give respect or merit to contributions (Opasnet pages) such that the method

  • reflects the true social respect on an absolute scale,
  • can be learned and used easily.

Definition

The rating bar functionality only accepts integers between 0 and 100. Therefore, it is practical to make the first attempt of peer rating reflect this interval. However, because ratings must be able to be used without limits, it might be possible to make an inverse log transformation using the following equation:

onor = 10^(rating/10) * 0.1

This results in the range from 0.01 to 100,000,000 onors which should be wide enough for practical needs. However, it does NOT make it possible to give negative respect.

How to read discussions

Statements: Negative respect should also be possible with peer rating.

Resolution: Not accepted. Negative respect must be given through peer review.

(Resolved, i.e., the resolution has been updated to the main page.)

Argumentation:

1 : Should we change this in such a way that rating below 20 would use this equation:

onor = -10^((10-rating)/10) * 0.1?

This would only make it possible to give -10 onors which may not be enough if negative onors are given in the first place. Instead, we could do so that if you want to give negative rating, you actually should make a peer review instead. The peer review result may be negative as well as positive. --Jouni 12:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)


Result

The total onors earned by an individual i are calculated in the following way:

Oi = Σp Op np fi,p,

where Oi is the amount of onors earned by individual i, Op is the amount of onors per one reading given to a particular page p, np is the number of times the page p was read, and fi,p if the fraction of merit that the contributor i earns for his/her work on page p.

Onors can be exchanged to money, but in a non-linear manner. There is a threshold for exchange, and onors below the threshold are not exchanged. The actual level of threshold is determined by the members of the society. The amount of exchangeable onors is calculated in the following way:

O(E)i = Σp Op np fi,p (if Op fi,p >= T then 1 else 0),

where T is the threshold. A major reason for this non-linearity is that anyone can do a large number of low-onor edits without specific skills. With a linear exchange rate, most of the money would be exchanged to such low-value contributions. It is more motivating and cost-effective to give higher prizes for hard and skilled work and none for others. This motivates people (who want to do this for living) to work especially on high-value things.
