I discovered that CHI is not a top-tier HCI conference. Or even 2nd or 3rd. :)
Neither is CSCW, Group, etc. (For those not in CS/HCI, CHI is *the* top tier conference
with acceptance rates lower than most journals in the area and the others I listed are
nearly as competitive. And venues like WikiSym that have higher acceptance rates attract
top-tier work as well - many papers of equivalent quality have been published there.)
So... I would suggest that, to review the Wikipedia literature, you need to choose a
field (or set of fields) you know and become deeply knowledgeable about the literature in
that field by reading it and following citations, etc. Searching for every paper ever
written that mentions "Wikipedia" in the title/abstract will catch you lots of
peripheral work that is not *about* Wikipedia, but that uses Wikipedia as a context for
studying something else. Machines aren't good at literature reviews. :) That said, it
would be incredibly useful to have a
common repository of citations that can be annotated, discussed etc. Reid
Priedhorsky, Phoebe Ayers, Brent Hecht, Darren Gergle, and Mako Hill and I have
been talking about doing a literature review as well and have come to the
conclusions that A) there's too much to cover in just one paper and B) a place
to collaboratively assemble knowledge about the literature is a prerequisite
for such an endeavor. We were thinking a MediaWiki with templates to structure
citation data for export would be better than any of the bib software out
there. But actually... I remember reading that Tiki Wiki now explicitly
supports citation, I think? The bottom line is, B) Is something this community
could really do a great job of developing and it would be mutually beneficial.
No one of us is going to cover all the Wikipedia literature alone, unless we
make it a full time job. :) FYI, we chose Travis's citation filtering method as
a starting point and came up with the list below as our
common starter reading list and planned to divy things up from there. Andrea =Top
