ABSTRACT
Witkey and crowdsourcing are two words referring to the same real life phenomenon. They are both used in the academic world, but witkey is hardly used in English academic papers. The study compares the coinage, the original research of the words and their use frequency in Chinese and English academic papers. It finds that the use of crowdsourcing tends to be more popular and it also suggests that the integrative study of witkey and crowdsourcing papers is necessary for an overall study of the phenomenon.
