[events] Wiki Workshop 2023 Announcement
by Leila Zia 26 Jul '23

26 Jul '23

Hi everyone, Wiki Workshop [1 <https://wikiworkshop.org/>] 2023 will be the 10th edition of Wiki Workshop! \o/ In the spirit of research and experimentation, we have decided to make some changes for this decade edition event. There are some changes that we know about now, and some that are work in progress. Below you can learn more about the high level changes we expect to implement. *Online or in-person?* Based on the feedback that we have gathered from Wiki Workshop attendees over the past few years, a survey of authors of the recent Wiki Workshops, as well as data about the geographical and gender diversity of Wiki Workshop attendees (disclosed optionally as part of the registration form, and aggregated), *we have decided to offer Wiki Workshop 2023 as a fully online event*. Through the authors' survey we also learned that some authors who publish in Wiki Workshop appreciated the in-person presence of the Wiki Workshop community as part of the Web Conference [2 <https://www2023.thewebconf.org/>] (formerly WWW). *We are exploring options to bring the Wikimedia researchers who will attend TheWebConf 2023 in-person together while some of us will be in Austin*. More details on this in early 2023. *When* We expect the workshop to take place some time in April-June 2023. We will announce the exact date no later than the end of February 2023. *Publishing and proceedings* When we surveyed Wiki Workshop authors, those who responded were split 50-50 between whether it is important for them to have their workshop submission as part of a proceedings. This allowed us to start considering options other than the Companion Proceedings of WWW (the traditional venue where a subset of Wiki Workshop papers were published in every year). I'm very excited to share that we have found a new approach for publishing Wiki Workshop papers that can allow us to experiment with new models and keep the two groups of authors happy. For the 2023 edition, *we will continue with the tradition of receiving paper submissions for Wiki Workshop* (though we may change the submission format/length for 2023)* and all accepted papers will appear in the **corresponding Wiki Workshop website*, similar to last year's. [3 <https://wikiworkshop.org/2022/#papers>] However, instead of accepting a subset of the papers to appear in Proceedings of WWW, we are working with the Editor in Chief of ACM Transactions on the Web (TWEB) [4 <https://dl.acm.org/journal/tweb>] to create a pathway for a subset of the Wiki Workshop papers (likely after being extended) to be submitted for review to *a special edition of ACM TWEB*. There are a lot of details for us to work on to make the TWEB special edition happen and that means this year you should expect to receive the Call for Paper for Wiki Workshop some time in late January to middle of February 2023 (instead of the usual December time-frame). I am very excited about the opportunity for the work of the Wikimedia research and Wiki Workshop community to be published as part of ACM Transactions on the Web and I'm very grateful to Ryen White, Editor-in-Chief of ACM TWEB, for being welcoming in exploring this idea and offering a special edition space (details tbd). *Other changes* There are some other high level schedule changes that we may make for the 2023 edition. If you like to stay informed about these changes at a granular level and over time, you're welcome to subscribe to the Phabricator task where these changes will be tracked: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313530 . We hope to be back with more updates for you in early 2023. Best, Leila, Bob and Emily p.s. Please note that I didn't run the text of this email with Bob and Emily (cc-ed). We have coordinated and discussed these changes among ourselves, and they're welcome to add/update as they see fit.

Wikipedia Research policy
by song＠cs.umn.edu 14 Jul '23

14 Jul '23

Pursuant to prior discussions about the need for a research policy on Wikipedia, WikiProject Research is drafting a policy regarding the recruitment of Wikipedia users to participate in studies. At this time, we have a proposed policy, and an accompanying group that would facilitate recruitment of subjects in much the same way that the Bot Approvals Group approves bots. The policy proposal can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Research The Subject Recruitment Approvals Group mentioned in the proposal is being described at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Subject_Recruitment_Approvals_Group Before we move forward with seeking approval from the Wikipedia community, we would like additional input about the proposal, and would welcome additional help improving it. Also, please consider participating in WikiProject Research at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Research -- Bryan Song GroupLens Research University of Minnesota

by Lucie Kaffee 24 Jan '23

24 Jan '23

The deadline for the Semantic Web Journal Special Issue on Wikidata was extended to 14.02. More information can be found here: https://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/call-papers-special-issue-wikidat… We are looking forward to your contributions! The full call for papers is below. Call for papers: Semantic Web Journal Special Issue on Wikidata: Construction, Evaluation and Applications Wikidata is an openly available knowledge base, hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. It can be accessed and edited by both humans and machines and acts as a common structured-data repository for several Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and Wikisource. It is used in a variety of semantic web applications by researchers and practitioners alike. In recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of publications around Wikidata. While there are several dedicated venues for the broader Wikidata community to meet, none of them focuses on publishing comprehensive, peer-reviewed research. This special issue fills this gap - we hope to provide a forum to build this fledgling scientific community and promote novel work and resources that support it. The special issue seeks original contributions and extended conference papers that address the opportunities and challenges of creating, contributing to, and using the global, collaborative, open-domain, multilingual knowledge graph Wikidata. Topics Topics of submissions include, but are not limited to: - Data quality and vandalism detection in Wikidata - Referencing in Wikidata - Anomaly, bias, or novelty detection in Wikidata - Algorithms for aligning Wikidata with other structured or semi-structured resources - Representation, Semantic Annotation, Enhancement and Enrichments using Wikidata - Semantic Parsing and Question Answering using Wikidata - The Semantic Web and Wikidata - Community interaction in Wikidata - Multilingual data in Wikidata and its reuse - Data quality in Wikidata: Approaches for problem detection, evaluation and improvement - Tools, bots, and datasets for improving or evaluating Wikidata - Participation, diversity, and inclusivity aspects in the Wikidata ecosystem - Human-bot interaction - Managing knowledge evolution in Wikidata - Abstract Wikipedia - Wikidata in NLP applications Deadline - Submission deadline: 14 February 2023 (extended!). Papers submitted before the deadline will be reviewed upon receipt. Author Guidelines Submissions shall be made through the Semantic Web journal website at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net. Prospective authors must take notice of the submission guidelines posted at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors. We welcome four main types of submissions: (i) full research papers, (ii) reports on tools and systems, (iii) dataset descriptions, and (iv) survey articles. The description of submission types is posted at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors#types. While there is no upper limit, paper length must be justified by content. Note that you need to request an account on the website for submitting a paper. Please indicate in the cover letter that it is for the "Wikidata" special issue. All manuscripts will be reviewed based on the SWJ open and transparent review policy and will be made available online during the review process. Also note that the Semantic Web journal is open access <http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/open-access-swj-going-gold>. Finally please note that submissions must comply with the journal’s Open Science Data requirements, which are detailed in the corresponding blog post <http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/open-science-data-impending-change…> .

NMR is the premier forum for results in the area of nonmonotonic reasoning. Its aim is to bring together active researchers in this broad field within knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR), including belief revision, uncertain reasoning, reasoning about actions, planning, logic programming, preferences, deontic reasoning, argumentation, causality, and many other related topics including systems and applications (see NMR page, https://nmr.cs.tu-dortmund.de/). NMR has a long history - it started in 1984 and has been held every two years until 2020 and then every year. Recent previous NMR workshops were held in Haifa (2022), Hanoi (virtual, 2021), in Rhodes (virtual, 2020), Tempe (2018) and Cape Town (2016). Since 2020 NMR is being held annually. NMR workshops are usually co-located with the KR conferences (kr.org). As in previous editions, NMR 2023 aims to foster connections between the different subareas of nonmonotonic reasoning and provide a forum for emerging topics. We especially invite papers on systems and applications, as well as position papers and papers addressing benchmark issues. The workshop will be structured by topical sessions fitting to the scopes of accepted papers. The workshop will be held in Rhodes, Greece, in September 2-4, 2023. Workshop activities will include invited talks and presentations of technical papers. -- Submission Information -- There are two types of submissions: Full papers. Full papers should be at most 10 pages including references, figures and appendices, if any. Papers already published or accepted for publication at other conferences are also welcome, provided that the original publication is mentioned in a footnote on the first page and the submission at NMR falls within the authors’ rights. In the same vein, papers under review for other conferences can be submitted with a similar indication on their front page. Extended Abstracts. Extended abstracts should be at most 3 pages. The abstracts should introduce work that has recently been published or is under review, or ongoing research at an advanced stage. We highly encourage to attach to the submission a preprint/postprint or a technical report. Such extra material will be read at the discretion of the reviewers. Submitting already published material may require a permission by the copyright holder. All submissions should be formatted in CEUR style (2-column style) without enabled header and footer. The author kit can be found at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. Papers must be submitted in PDF only. Submission will be through the EasyChair conference system. Please submit via Easychair to: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=nmr2023 -- Workshop Proceedings -- The accepted papers will be made available electronically in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings series (http://ceur-ws.org/). The copyright of papers remains with the authors. -- Important Dates -- All dates are 'Anywhere on Earth', namely 23:59 UTC-12. - Paper registration deadline: 2 June 2023 - Paper submission deadline: 9 June 2023 - Notification to authors: 17 July 2023 - Camera-ready version: 4 August 2023 - Workshop dates: 2-4 September 2023 -- Workshop Co-Chairs -- - Kai Sauerwald, FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany - Matthias Thimm, FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany -- Further Information -- Please visit the workshop website (http://nmr.krportal.org/2023/) for further information and regular updates.

Best practices for researchers soliciting off-wiki interviews
by Jodi Schneider 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Hi wiki-research-l folks, Can the list point me in the right direction about how researchers should solicit off-wiki interviews? I'm seeking to interview editors of English Wikipedia who have provided information about scientific and technical topics. I'm struggling to find up-to-date documentation about expectations for researchers... Currently the focus is COVID-19; in future years the focus will shift to climate change; and AI and labor. Overall the project seeks to understand how knowledge brokers (including Wikipedia editors) assess the quality of technical and scientific information. This is part of my 3-year, US-based, IRB-approved research study: https://infoqualitylab.org/projects/knowledgebrokers/participate-y1 My inclination (in the absence of specific best practice directions) would be to post a message the Talk pages of the most obvious WikiProjects, with information about the project and how to reach me: WikiProject COVID-19 WikiProject Medicine / Pulmonology WikiProject Viruses WikiProject Disaster management Is that appropriate? I'd welcome a pointer to specific requirements or best practices. Offline advice also welcome! -Jodi User:Jodi.a.schneider jschneider(a)pobox.com https://jodischneider.com/jodi.html
