Mining successful answers in stack overflow

Abstract

Recent research has shown that drivers of success in online question answering encompass presentation quality as well as temporal and social aspects. Yet, we argue that also the emotional style of a technical contribution influences its perceived quality. In this paper, we investigate how Stack Overflow users can increase the chance of getting their answer accepted. We focus on actionable factors that can be acted upon by users when writing an answer and making comments. We found evidence that factors related to information presentation, time and affect all have an impact on the success of answers.
