WikiPapers is the main wiki-based curation platform for wiki-related academic publications, but it's down at the moment: http://wikipapers.referata.com/
Up now. I thought https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academic_studies_of_Wikipedia#Peer_r... was clear enough, the lists have been moved on wikipapers.
Thanks; with due respect, a clear pointer is one thing, but when I asked the question, the site was down, and there was no way to know how authoritative or well-maintained it is. Now that it's up, I must confess further doubts, given the bell-shaped graph of papers shown on the front page, and various errors I've encountered around the site.
E.g., http://wikipapers.referata.com/wiki/List_of_journal_articles is empty.
On the other hand, http://wikipapers.referata.com/wiki/List_of_conference_papers works and has lots of information (maybe too much).
Wikidata integration *should* make it relatively straightforward to browse the articles in a faceted way, and also push that data into several Wikipedia pages?
I'd personally support dumping out the Wikipapers metadata and pushing that into Wikidata (I'm probably not the best point-person for that, but could help some).
That effort would ultimately sort out a more 'encyclopedic' style for the above-named Wikipedia page.

Wikipapers has not had recent mass additions, but the recent changes are regularly active. Of course we'd like more wiki researchers to add their publications (and edit their author information)!
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Source_MetaData is looking pretty promising for automating or semi-automating this sort of task (in connection w/ the Wikidata backend).
