Hi Andrew,
Thanks for sharing this question and the two references. In the field of Computational Social Science, [1-3] are key references to me, I hope they inspire you too.
Best,

Hi all,
I hope this is the right place to ask this question!
I was wondering if folks who are doing (or are interested in) research about Wikipedia might like to share texts that they feel best describe the general research frameworks they use (or might like to use).
I'd love to hear about any texts you like, regardless of format (textbook, paper, general reference, blog post, etc.).
It seems a lot of work about Wikipedia uses approaches from Computational Social Science. The main references I have for that are [1] and [2].
I'm especially interested in links between Computational Social Science and frameworks from more traditional social sciences and cognitive science.
Many thanks in advance!!!!! :) Cheers, Andrew
