Has anyone done any research or know of any research that has looked into the effectiveness of incentive programs like British Museum at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BM/Featured_Article_prize ? Or into the effectiveness of wikicups like Bacon at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bacon/Bacon_WikiCup/2012? Do they spur collaboration? Do they engage new audiences that may not otherwise have worked on content or similar content?
Laura - this is probably more of a topic for say cultural partnerships - if you would like (and I would suggest it) I can add you there, I co-mod the list.

Hey Laura, I've been meaning to ask you this -- have you talked to Siska Doviana in Indonesia? She's run a couple university contests, and reported on them. I'm not sure if there's been formal research, but she is full of information. I could introduce you if you haven't met her. -Pete
