Sociotechnical Dynamics in Open Source Smart Contract Repositories: An Exploratory Data Analysis of Curated High Market Value Projects

This is the replication package for the paper “Sociotechnical Dynamics in Open Source Smart Contract Repositories: An Exploratory Data Analysis of Curated High Market Value Projects”. In project_curation_selection, there is the curation process of the 100 selected projects including the identification of GitHub repositories and classification of evolution scenarios. In distribution_commits_issues_contributors_market_value_before_after_deploy, data collection from GitHub projects includes the distribution of total commits, contributors, and issues before and after deployment of each investigated project. In analysis_commit_messages, there is qualitative analysis of commit message content from all investigated projects. In the analysis_contributors section, the data focuses on analyzing the profiles of each GitHub contributor involved in the investigated projects. In analysis_market_value_by_project, data refers to the market value and volume of each investigated project. In codes, there are scripts used to obtain the analyzed data.
