G'day folks,
Researchers at IBM's Visual Comnunication Lab have published an
interesting
paper called "Talk Before You Type: Coordination in Wikipedia" at the
40th
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences held recently.

This is indeed an interesting study. I wonder - do we have a page that lists all citable academic studies of wikipedia published in journals or conference proceedings? Of course it would not be in article space. It would be a usefull help for anyone writing an article on wikipedia. If we do not have such a page, should we? and what do we call it? [[Wikipedia:Academic studies on Wikipedia]]?
Hi Brian,
there is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_in_academic_studies, which is, as it says, "incomplete". As for studies including-but-not-limited-to Wikipedia, you can see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Research_Bibliography, as well as an excellent bibliography, using Wikindx (and linked to from that page), but apparently down for some time now. I'm including Jakob Voss in this mail, to see if he can tell us more - generally, that would be my first stop - no question..
Many thanks. I thought the first one was about using wikipedia in studies, not studies of wikipedia, so I did not go there. It needs the artcile that started this (the meta artcile already has it), so I'll add it.
Cheers, Brian.
Cheers, Cormac
