I tend to add literature to Wikidata rather than any other wiki. I think
Wikidata might give the best overview.
There may be multiple topics in Scholia that are relevant:
wiki:
https://scholia.toolforge.org/topic/Q171
wikipedia:
https://scholia.toolforge.org/topic/Q52 (as Gerard mentions)
Though the user interface is currently only in English, Scholia should
also list items that refers to works in other language, see, e.g., for
the page for Wikiversity:
https://scholia.toolforge.org/topic/Q370
Unfortunately, Scholia does not link the description in the
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter. One way to get the
information from the research newsletter more discoverable could be to
move it to Wikiversity and link that with Wikidata. Scholia already
includes English Wikiversity abstract, if available, see, e.g.,
https://scholia.toolforge.org/use/Q30309204
For "Wikipedia in the eyes of its beholders: A systematic review of
scholarly research on wikipedia readers and readership" that Jodi
Schneider referred to, we set a deadline to June 2011, so article
published after that day is likely not mentioned in that review and its
sister reviews.

Hoi,
The best way to learn about scholarly publications about Wikipedia is in
Wikidata. It is superior because Scholia [1] will inform you about these
publications, their authors, the topic in context etc.
If Scholia has one drawback, it is that it is English only.
Thanks,

Dear colleagues,
Here a remark/question(s) about the way how we keep record in the
Wikimedia movement with regard to research papers and books about wiki
related topics.
It seems to me that we have several pages for collaborative collecting
the titles. For example, my first look would lead me to a bibliography
page on Meta-Wiki [1]. But we have also such a page on Englisch WP [2]
and on German WP, even two [3] etc.
Sometimes the pages have different goals: do they collect "all"
literature" or only "relevant" titles or titles in a specific
language; or are they rather a list of "recommended" works etc.
Often, the pages are obviously incomplete and not up to date. Some end
with the year 2019 (or actually, were not continued in the Corona
times?).
What do you think? Did I simply not find the "right" page? Or what
would be the best solution for creating one single page or database of
wiki related works? Including machine readable information about
language, specific sub topic, links to reviews etc.?
And, of course, there remains the question what is actually a wiki
related work. Often a book does not have "wiki" in its title but deals
with "online creation communities" or "peer production" or
"social
media" and has a large chapter on wikis.
Kind regards
Ziko
