Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikidemia/Quant
Participants
A small but growing group of researchers are carrying out quantitative studies of the content and community in wikis including Wikipedia. This project aims to bolster these efforts by establishing a coherent, community-driven framework for carrying out such research.
This goal can be partly satisfied by constructing and maintaining a publicly-available set of statistical metrics and datasets which will be of use to many members of research community.
