Dear Heather,
Yes, the entire spectrum.library.concordia.ca seems to be down. This is
probably just temporarily. Until it gets up again you may try these links:
Wikipedia in the eyes of its beholders: a systematic review of scholarly
research on Wikipedia readers and readership
6785/pdf/imm6785.pdf
"The sum of all human knowledge": a systematic review of scholarly
research on the content of Wikipedia
Thanks for sending, Chitu. The concordia links
don't seem to be
working...

Hi everyone,
We have two Wikipedia literature reviews recently accepted for
publication, both at the Journal of the American Society for
Information Science and Technology. Open access versions are
available on the Concordia University institutional repository:
* Wikipedia in the eyes of its beholders: A systematic review of
scholarly research on Wikipedia readers and readership
(
https://spectrum.library.__concordia.ca/978617/
<https://spectrum.library.concordia.ca/978617/>). This article
reviews studies on ranking and popularity; Wikipedia as a knowledge
source; student readership; and commercial aspects of Wikipedia,
among other topics.
* “The sum of all human knowledge”: A systematic review of scholarly
research on the content of Wikipedia
(
https://spectrum.library.__concordia.ca/978618/
<https://spectrum.library.concordia.ca/978618/>). This article
reviews studies on the quality of Wikipedia (including reliability,
comprehensive, and antecedents to quality) and the size of Wikipedia.
These are part of our larger literature review on Wikipedia (working
paper at
http://ssrn.com/abstract=__2021326
<http://ssrn.com/abstract=2021326>; online database of studies at
http://wikilit.referata.com). We are currently working on detailed,
focused review papers on other important Wikipedia research topics
like motivations to participation, collaborative culture, Wikipedia
as a textual corpus, and other topics.
Unfortunately, because of the tremendous breadth of the topic, the
reviews mainly cover journal articles and doctoral theses (with
several important conference papers) up to 2011-2012.
We would very much appreciate your comments and feedback on the two
accepted papers, and on the working paper with the other topics.
Regards,
Chitu Okoli
