Hi all,
One of my PhD students, Meen Chul Kim, is a data scientist with experience in bibliometrics and we will be working on some citation-related research together with Aaron and Dario in the coming months. Our main goal in the short term is to develop an enhanced citation dataset that will allow for future analyses of citation data associated with article quality, lifecycle, editing trends, etc.
The project page is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_the_context_of_citati...
The project is just getting started so this is a great time to offer feedback and suggestions, especially for features of citations that we should mine as a first step, since this will affect what the dataset can be used for in the future.
Looking forward to seeing some of you at WikiCite!!
Andrea
