mapping language to country
by Kai Zhu 08 Jun '24

08 Jun '24

Dear all, I am currently undertaking a research project that explores the choice of language when reading Wikipedia across different countries. One of the tasks of my study involves mapping Wikipedia languages to the countries where these languages are predominantly spoken. I recognize the complexity of this task and understand that a perfect mapping might not be possible. However, I would appreciate any recommendations on the best methodologies, practices, or data sources for accomplishing this. Additionally, I have a related question: What are good data sources for information regarding the proportion of a country's population that speaks various languages? Thank you for your help and insights. Best regards, Kai Zhu Assistant Professor Bocconi University

Editors sense of ownership
by Matthew Vetter 29 May '24

29 May '24

Hi All - I'm happy to share my new research article with you, entitled '"I Don’t Feel Like It Is ‘Mine’ at All': Assessing Wikipedia Editors’ Sense of Individual and Community Ownership" and published in the journal Written Communication. Available at https://bit.ly/4dXCVbu<https://t.co/eVRfFiapNJ> Building on scholarship related to collaboration, authorship, ownership, and editing in Wikipedia, this study sought to better understand Wikipedians as writers, paying specific attention to their sense of ownership. While previous research has shown that editors engage in individualist editing practices at times, often ignoring community-mediated policy regarding ownership, findings from a mixed-method survey of 117 editors demonstrate the existence of both "individual" and "community" notions of ownership that often reinforce, or mutually inform, each other. This study adds clarity to these issues by demonstrating how feelings of individual ownership, voice, and pride in writing often occur in collaborative circumstances. This research ultimately extends our understanding of collaborative writing in what is one of the most well-known collaborative websites. Despite contemporary theoretical strides advocating for relinquishing ownership concepts in favor of distributed or ecological frameworks, the concept of ownership remains prevalent within digital writing communities, exemplified by Wikipedia.

28 May '24

* A satellite event of the Conference on Complex Systems 2024<http://ccs24.cssociety.org/> * Date of Event: September 3, 2024 * Submissions deadline: June 10, 2024 * Link for submission: https://s.gwdg.de/0tHCYB<https://s.gwdg.de/YBZbpP> * Venue: Exeter, United Kingdom * Previous events: MIMODE2022<http://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/news_events_6123/news_press_releases_4630/news/…>, MIMODE2021<http://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/news_events_6123/news_press_releases_4630/news/…> * Organizers: Jisu Kim<http://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/about_us_6113/staff_directory_1899/jisu_kim_409…> and Daniela Perrotta<http://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/about_us_6113/staff_directory_1899/daniela_perr…> * Contact: mimode(a)demogr.mpg.de<mailto:mimode@demogr.mpg.de?subject=MIMODE%202024> The recent availability of massive amounts of digital data have profoundly revolutionized research on migration and mobility, enabling scientists to quantitatively study individual and collective mobility patterns at different granularities as generated by human activities in their daily life. Harnessing such digital data offers many new opportunities to study migration and mobility and fill in the gaps left by traditional data. At the same time, such innovative data sources also come with several limitations, biases, and challenges, which have led to diverging research methodologies and frameworks, requiring even greater effort in their operationalization and communication to stakeholders and policy makers. More details can be found here: https://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/news_events_6123/news_press_releases_4630/news… -- This mail has been sent through the MPI for Demographic Research.

Looking for advice on best practice for research interviewees
by john cummings 23 May '24

23 May '24

Hi all I'm not a researcher but I want to carry out some research interviews as part of a project I'm doing to develop a training programme. Can anyone recommend any best practice guides? I'm especially looking for information on best practice in compensating people for their time? Many thanks John
