Hi all,
The Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation has officially started a new
Formal Collaboration [1] with researchers from University of Pennsylvania
and American University to work collaboratively on Understanding Curious
and Critical Readers [2] as part of the Knowledge Integrity Program [3].
Here are a few pieces of information about this collaboration that we would
like to share with you:
* We aim to keep the research documentation for this project in the
corresponding research page on meta.[2]
* Research tasks are hard to break down and track in task-tracking systems.
This being said, the page on meta is linked to an Epic level Phabricator
task and all tasks related to this project that can be captured on
Phabricator will be captured there.[3]
* The following formal collaborators (cc-ed) will contribute to this
program: Dani S. Bassett, David Lydon-Staley, Shubhankar Patankar, Dale
Zhou (all University of Pennsylvania), and Perry Zurn (American
University). We are thankful to them for agreeing to spend their time and
expertise on this project in the coming year, and to those of you who have
already worked with us as we were shaping the proposal for this project and
are planning to continue your contributions to this program.
* I act as the point of contact for this research in the Wikimedia
Foundation. Please feel free to reach out to me (directly, if it cannot be
shared publicly) if you have comments or questions about the project.
Best,
Martin
