[Wiki-research-l] Research project on wikipedia sources in English/French

[DENEL Mathieu]

Hello, 

I'm an employee of Wikimédia France and i'm writing to this
list because a project on sources is currently being launched in
partnership with the french ministry of research on the French and
English versions of Wikipedia. The aim is to study the different ways in
which sources are referenced in the French and English versions of
Wikipedia in order to feed a barometer put online by the MESR, which
measures the rate of scientific publications being opened. Initially,
all sources will be studied, followed by scientific sources and open
access scientific sources. 

As part of this project, Wikimédia France
issued a call for tenders and a partner (Datactivist) was selected. The
aim of this project, as well as providing the barometer with new
indicators, will be to benefit the communities. 

A first phase of
documentation is taking place and, in addition to the technical part of
analysing Wikipedia dumps, interviews are planned with researchers who
have carried out work on this topic as well as with contributors
interested in answering Datactivist's questions about the different
ways/tools/means of adding sources, referencing scientific works and
discussing sources in general on English Wikipedia (and French too) 

If
you are interested in taking part in an hour-long discussion with our
partner, please send me an e-mail. 

If you also know researchers who
have worked on the subject of sources, i'd be happy to get in touch.


Many thanks in advance,
