Hi!
Thanks so so much for all your recommendations, everyone! Wow, tons of
food for thought. :)
I received one additional reference that was sent off-list, in response
to this thread. It is:
Adcock, R., & Collier, D. (2001). Measurement Validity: A Shared
Standard for Qualitative and
Much research lately studies current communities of X (say, Wikipedians),
as something like a finite-game within the relatively stable and
self-limiting framework set up by X once it became an institution (say, the
post-2007 framework of WP and sibling projects).
I haven't seen as much research
Also consider the widely used textbook by Creswell & Creswell, "Research
Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches" (5th
Edition, ISBN 978-1506386706), as a general reference for the social
sciences with relevance to much of the research literature about Wikipedia.

Hi all,
Great thread! CAT Lab takes a collaborative approach to full-cycle research
that we call citizen behavioral science. We describe it here:

best reference I've found for how to do ethnographic interviewing well is
James

Geiger and others have used to great effect in studying Wikipedia -- e.g.,

Thanks for sharing this question and the two references. In the field of
Computational Social Science, [1-3] are key references to me, I hope they
inspire you too.

Hello Andrew,
I am not quite sure if this is what you are looking for. A general
framework for Wikipedia research... I wonder how general that can be.
Some authors have tried to make use of systems theory, but this is not
what I would recommend.
It all depends what your research is about, so the
