Thank you HaeB for this valuable addition to the signpost.

Hi, I think you might add a lot more. Out of interest I searched the papers of the largest semantic web conference (ISWC 2010 ) once for mentions of "DBpedia". The easiest way to it is to use google if the publication are available on the internet: "dbpedia site:http://iswc2010.semanticweb.org/pdf/" http://www.google.com/#q=dbpedia+site:http://iswc2010.semanticweb.org/pdf/&a... this yields 5 result pages (4 with 10 entries and 1 with a single entry) with a total of 41 papers mentioning DBpedia. That is about a third of accepted papers ( 132 ) Of course I really never checked in detail, what the "mentions" where about, as google just looks for the keyword (could be e.g. citations). I just wanted to present my method of searching.

You might consider adding papers about/using DBpedia also, as research using DBpedia can be considered (in most cases) research using Wikipedia. They fall in the same category as for example these: Milne, David and Witten, Ian .H. An effective, low-cost measure of semantic relatedness obtained from Wikipedia links. Adrian Iftene and Alexandra Balahur-Dobrescu Named Entity Relation Mining using Wikipedia Alexander E. Richman, Patrick Schone Mining Wiki Resources for Multilingual Named Entity Recognition and many more...

Although I did not read up on the actual criteria you used for inclusion.

Hi,

the current issue of the Signpost (the English Wikipedia's community-written and community-edited weekly news bulletin) contains a section summarizing some recent academic research about Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-06-06/Recent_...

See also an earlier such overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-04-11/Recent_...

In the future, we are planning to publish such surveys of recent Wikipedia research on a monthly basis, in collaboration with the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee - expect further announcements on this list.

If you know about a newly published academic research paper about Wikipedia that seems worth covering, a tip is welcome at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom/Suggestio...
