Hi Aisha, 
to answer your question, the only relevant publications that may help you are reports. Chapters and user groups report at least annually, but we have not done a comparison between affiliate groups. We have only done this comparative studies for program mapping [1] and grants accountability purposes [2].

You can find the annual reports on Meta here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reports That page is where all affiliates latest reporting is cataloged, and is always updated. Some of them are a simple count of activities, others have more narrative and more data. 

Hope that helps!

Best, 

María

Hi! 

Could anyone point me towards any papers relevant to Wikimedia chapters (how they function, the work they do, whether they have been successful or otherwise)? 

Thank you! :)

Aisha
