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/). 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/). 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; 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 Mohamad Mehdi Mostafa Mesgari Finn Årup Nielsen Arto Lanamäki
Thanks for sending, Chitu. The concordia links don't seem to be working...

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:
