Hi everyone, Summary: We have released two COVID-19 related data-sets. If you just need the information about the datasets, please read the section titled "Data release details" below. The rest of this email provides background as well as thanks and credits information. ==Background== On March 26, 2020, only a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of Wikimedia volunteer researchers and editors as well as a subset of the Wikimedia Foundation staff interested in the community, data and research aspect of our work came together to brainstorm COVID-19 related data and research. One of the themes that emerged from that conversation was that the Wikimedia Foundation considers releasing more granular COVID-19 related data. ==Data release details== Today we’re happy to share with you that we have publicly released two Wikipedia readership COVID-19 related data-sets. The first dataset is COVID-19 article page views by country, the second dataset is one hop navigation where one of the two pages are COVID-19 related. You can find both data-sets at https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/COVID-19_Pandemic_Wikipedia_Readershi… ==Thanks and credits== This release would not have been possible without contributions from the following people: Joseph Allemandou (Data Engineering), Marcel Ruiz Forns (Data Engineering), Fabian Kaelin (Research), Isaac Johnson (Research), Nuria Ruiz (Data Engineering), Leila Zia (Research). We also want to thank those who participated in the original brainstorming meeting and offered us their expertise and time [1].
