It would be nice to have a dedicated spot to collect research studies/documentation/work (maybe Wikiversity is the right spot?) since right now it is spread out over several wikipedias, meta, and other wikis besides.
About a year ago I have collected most of Wikipedia related research at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_in_academic_studies but since than few have updated the page. In the end, it is a community resource just as any wiki is: if nobody wants to do it, we will not have such a database. It's that simple. So I invite everyone to contribute to that page; being on Wikipedia is has the known set of advantages - it benefits from Wikipedia fame and snowball effect (can you name other wiki research databases off the top of your head?), it will never disappear, we all (should) know how to add to it, it is watched over by a significant community, etc.
