Thought this list might be interested in some of the research coming out of the Wiki Education Foundation today. What portion of academic content are student editors in the USA/Canada contributing to English Wikipedia through course assignments? Here’s what we learned:
https://wikiedu.org/blog/2016/08/31/academic-content/ For those who want to dive deep, there's more information on meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Student_production_of_academic_content Our Data Science intern Kevin Schiroo has done some great work exploring our dashboard and generating new datasets (you can find more here <https://wikiedu.org/blog/2016/06/15/student-editors-contributed-nearly-6-of-wikipedias-science-content/>). I'll note that this doesn't quite replicate or internationalize, as it's based on the English Wikipedia (and therefore English-language sourcing and academic terms). Nonetheless, it's definitely interesting work. -- Eryk Salvaggio Communications Manager Wiki Education Foundation [email protected] User:Eryk (Wiki Ed) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eryk_(Wiki_Ed)> @WikiEducation <https://twitter.com/WikiEducation> wikiedu.org *Our organization supports the Wikipedia Education Program in the United States and Canada.*
