Reminder - please consider taking our survey and share with others! Call for Survey Participants - Wikimedia-Engaged Academic Researchers and Scientists
Survey Link: https://iup.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0wfRHBdZmtbEuW2 Despite the growing interest in open educational resources in higher education, relatively few academics and scientists have significantly committed to sharing their research expertise in open knowledge projects. In fact, they often face opportunity costs when engaging with platforms like Wikipedia, as the time spent contributing can detract from more traditional scholarly outputs, such as peer-reviewed publications, conferences, and pursuing grants. This research project invites Wikimedia-engaged academics, scientists, and researchers to help us better understand how to make Wikimedia contributions “count” for academic researchers. To that end, we'll be surveying and interviewing academic researchers and scientists who have previously engaged Wikimedia projects in an effort to discover the most suitable metrics and models for our project, as well as to develop a broad network of like-minded individuals interested in discovering how Wikimedia provides a platform for a broad open science infrastructure. Taking the survey will take approximately 10 minutes of your time. If you agree to participate in an interview as part of the survey, this will be conducted via Zoom and take approximately 30-45 minutes of your time.
