I think that's dependent on the research project.  In the Human-Computer
Interaction research community, we tend to highlight "Implications for
Design" in the conclusion of a study(see page 9 of [1] for an example from
my work).  In the case of democratized research resources, I would like
editors to make use of analytics tools.  I assume that these editors would
then be the means of on-wiki change.  Does that answer your question?  If
not, I'm not sure I understand it.
