A recent article published by the SIREN team sheds light on what drives people to donate their time to this transcription project. Their main findings: 1) Many volunteers use skills they already have, like fast typing, to help the project. 2) Some volunteers see SIREN as a relaxing activity, something pleasant they do in their spare time. 3) Some are interested in water, science, or Italy, so they feel connected to the project’s purpose. 4) A good number of volunteers are retired and still very active in helping.
