Has anyone done any research on a by country basis? I'm trying to fill out http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/FAQ/Perspectives a bit and I'm looking for assistance. I know there has been some research but not sure what and where, and what the breakdown was when analysis has been done. Has anyone done comprehensive research on this subject in terms of participation?
Thanks, Laura Hale
Hi Laura,
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but a recent First Monday article classifies Wikipedia research by country of provenance, among other criteria: http://firstmonday.org/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/3492/...
Perhaps that might give you some leads.
Regards, Chitu

Any analysis of the gender of people doing that research by country? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_studies_about_Wikipedia#Demographicssh... only one analysis that mentions gender but not country. Are demographic studies and content studies by nationality and gender not being done? Any one done an article that has large scale uses of data like http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Polish_Gender_Wikiproject.png or something similar?

The study used bibliometric data (that is, data that is recorded in the journal or conference publication in structured format). That does not include gender information, so the study has no such information.

Ouch. :/ Given Sue's comments about the importance of fixing the gendergap, do you know if any research was conducted as part of the Northern Hemisphere Summer of Research? And if any of that research deals with different female populations and is actionable? Is there any research currently being done about women on Wikipedia, especially with the scope of language and nationality as ways of separating and understanding different populations?
I was really hoping this would be a lot easier, and we had the research data, had benchmarks and could just drop it in. :(
Hi Laura!
There is some gender information from the 2011 Editor Survey: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Survey_2011/Women_Editors
The country-by-country data would have to be done separately, though, by downloading the data: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Survey_2011#Data
Hope this helps! Jessie

Hi the list,
Does anybody know if there is any exemple of oral culture directly formalised on wikipedia without having been precedently printed ? I would be interested by such cases for my research.

Lionel Barbe
Hi Lionel, have you already checked the project "Oral Citations"? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Oral_Citations The Oral Citations Project is a strategic research project funded by a Wikimedia Foundation grant to help overcome a lack of published material in emerging languages on Wikipedia. It was undertaken by Wikimedia Foundation Advisory Board member Achal Prabhala as a short-term fellowship.
There is also a film about the project "People are knowledge" http://vimeo.com/26469276 People are Knowledge is a film made during the course of a research project that explored how alternate methods of citation could be employed on Wikipedia. The film documents a series of specific situations with regards to published knowledge, and, subsequently, with oral citations. Credits: Priya Sen, Zen Marie, Achal Prabhala.
Enjoy! ;)
