Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable storage media for managing and incentivizing data entry are described. A data management system may include a plurality of user profiles associated with system users capable of entering data entry records into the data management system. The data entry records may be scored to indicate a correlation between the data entry record and at least one data entry goal, such as timeliness, completeness and/or accuracy. The scores may be used to encourage, motivate or otherwise incentivize system users to enter data entry records that conform to the goals of the data management system. The scores may be ranked and made accessible by system users, for example, so that each user may be compared among his peers. In addition, the scores may be used as part of a reward/penalty system administered, for example, by an operator of the data management system.
