It's a great idea, but very ambitious, I would say. I have to agree with Ziko and Dariusz. Missing all the items I checked for - governance, motivations, culture, power relations, gender inequality, education/teaching... (I realize of course this is just a start, hence my list of suggestions here).

In either case, the list seems to be based around a number of pretty detailed concepts, it it based on keywords? If so, you'll have hundreds if not thousands of sections soon. If not, I'd be curious about the methodology of selecting the topics.

I'd suggest that rather than a page like this, you should aim for keywords as categories. A dynamic listing like that may eventually have a chance of being up to date, and exhaustive.

Hello, Great list; I will have a closer look later. Sometimes I have the impression that Wikipedia research is mostly counting bits and bytes and less qualitative research in the field of 'social sciences'. Kind regards Ziko

I'd definitely add the issues of governance, the social organization of work, etc.

Hi;

I'm compiling a list of research areas inside the study of wikis. I would like to receive your feedback. Any suggestion or improvement?

Thanks, emijrp

I will add gender and culture, thanks.

I'd consider separating those. Is culture "culture and language"?

There is a page for each keyword http://wikipapers.referata.com/wiki/List_of_keywords But in the "research areas" page I try to group publications with related keywords into sections, so there won't be more than 30 or 40 sections.

I like having the categories (and as you say, you do already have keywords).

I'd also add "Demography" as a top level topic for Gender studies.

I would add definitely "Demography".

• Intellectual property

Any paper example?

• Open collaboration

Inside Community, policies, social structure and organization

• Social network research

The name I use is "Wikis as social networks".

• ¿Participation studies?

This may fit in Authorship and Community and Motivation (each one has its

own section)?

Thanks.
