Hello fellow list members,
Are you aware of any qualitative studies that do research on the
experiences and/or problems of new/yet unexperienced Wikipedia authors?
I searched on scholar and informally asked some colleges. The best I found
were some surveys with free text fields (which were already pretty
interesting) but I wonder if there are any interview/observation based
studies with a more formal analysis of data (e.g. thematic analysis or
Grounded Theory etc.)
Kind Regards,
Jan
PS: Since I'm new to the list: I recently started working as designer and
user researcher at Wikimedia Deutschland and since I use qualitative and
quantitative methods as part of my work I'm looking forward to participate
in the discussions on this list.
