I have a few references down for this. Will have a look on my delicious, and other lists
to chime in after the weekend. There was a special issue on Episteme
http://www.euppublishing.com/journal/epi about expertise and there were a couple of
relevant articles there (one from Larry Sanger). Another way - possibly - to look into
this is to scrutinise the pages on positive examples of academics contributing through
student engagement (see e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Murder_Madness_and_Mayhem). But yes,
what you are asking Daniel is of a different nature. There's a lot of anecdotal
evidence ....
Also I am sure that all the WMF folk involved in the public policy initiative will have
some more knowledge and resources.

Daniel,
nice one – I'd love to see some scholarly literature on the topic, should anyone on
the list have references to contribute.

Hello together,
we had mentioned the topic of expert recruitment on several occasions,
and in order to get things going on this one, I have started
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Top_ten_reasons_why_academics_do_not_contrib…
.
I put it on Wikiversity instead of Meta because I think it is more
visible there.
Please chime in.
Cheers,
Daniel
