Thanks for sending, Chitu. The concordia links don't seem to be working...

Hi everyone,
We have two Wikipedia literature reviews recently accepted for
publication, both at the Journal of the American Society for Information
Science and Technology. Open access versions are available on the Concordia
University institutional repository:
* Wikipedia in the eyes of its beholders: A systematic review of scholarly
research on Wikipedia readers and readership (
https://spectrum.library.
concordia.ca/978617/). This article reviews studies on ranking and
popularity; Wikipedia as a knowledge source; student readership; and
commercial aspects of Wikipedia, among other topics.
* “The sum of all human knowledge”: A systematic review of scholarly
research on the content of Wikipedia (
https://spectrum.library.
concordia.ca/978618/). This article reviews studies on the quality of
Wikipedia (including reliability, comprehensive, and antecedents to
quality) and the size of Wikipedia.
These are part of our larger literature review on Wikipedia (working paper
at
http://ssrn.com/abstract=2021326; online database of studies at
http://wikilit.referata.com). We are currently working on detailed,
focused review papers on other important Wikipedia research topics like
motivations to participation, collaborative culture, Wikipedia as a textual
corpus, and other topics.
Unfortunately, because of the tremendous breadth of the topic, the reviews
mainly cover journal articles and doctoral theses (with several important
conference papers) up to 2011-2012.
We would very much appreciate your comments and feedback on the two
accepted papers, and on the working paper with the other topics.
Regards,
Chitu Okoli
