I took a look at the paper and I feel the need to comment on one "conclusion"
in it.
"Of the 8,739 papers published, 7,640 (87.4%) of them were published in
English. Spanish is the second most common language, with 244 papers in
Spanish. This is a huge difference and again suggests that Wikimedia is
primarily anglophone."
I don't think that this should be said, even if the next paragraph somewhat
tempers the reasoning. Like it or not, English is the dominant language of
research publication. International conferences are nearly all English. Even
many theses from non-English-speaking countries are written in English. So it
is completely unsurprising that most papers examined are in English. It would
be astonishing if this was not the case.

Hi All,
Our project about Who is funding WikiResearch
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vaxQrpP1DGMxVWRbXAvax0O52pj5221unSjDrkKV5wM/edit?tab=t.0>
is
in the final stages of wrapping up, and I have the data open and ready to
analyze sort of a last time.
Thus I invite you to look a little bit at the report, and I can also do
some small analyses for your particular keywords or funder, for instance
giving you the papers for any particular funder, or topic, or institution,
etc. After next week, you can access the related files and analysis code
here <https://osf.io/6e9as/files/osfstorage>.
Aside from that, I encourage you to look at the report, or watch the
WikiWorkshop
presentation <https://youtu.be/2Wsix72Wy6Y?si=lFZNHN5w8kLuq-0t> about it.
there are many potential analyses that can be done in the cleaned data, and
we will use them in the future to help build relationships, projects, and
etc.
Please feel free to email me with any questions or suggestions. or if i can
provide you with more information.
Enjoy WikiMania!
Brett
