Thought this list might be interested in some of the research coming out of
the Wiki Education Foundation today. What portion of academic content are
student editors in the USA/Canada contributing to English Wikipedia through
course assignments? Here’s what we learned:

For those who want to dive deep, there's more information on meta:

Our Data Science intern Kevin Schiroo has done some great work exploring
our dashboard and generating new datasets (you can find more here
<https://wikiedu.org/blog/2016/06/15/student-editors-contributed-nearly-6-of-wikipedias-science-content/>).
I'll
note that this doesn't quite replicate or internationalize, as it's based
on the English Wikipedia (and therefore English-language sourcing and
academic terms). Nonetheless, it's definitely interesting work.
