Dear All, The Access to Knowledge (A2K) team at the Centre for Internet and Society, India has been engaged with work on research on Indian language Wikimedia projects since 2019. You may see some of our recently published reports here: 1.Mapping GLAM in Maharashtra:https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Mapping_GLAM_in_Maharashtra,_India 2.Understanding Gaps on Wikidata on Cultural Heritage Structures in Bengal:https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Research/Understanding_the_data_gaps_in_Wikidata_concerning_West_Bengal
This year, following up on learnings from work so far, we are undertaking a needs assessment exercise to a) understand the awareness about research within Indian language Wikimedia communities and identify existing projects if any, and b) gather community inputs on knowledge gaps and priority areas of focus and the role of research in addressing the same. We would therefore request interested community members, working with or interested in research on Indian language Wikimedia projects to respond to the needs assessment questionnaire here:https://forms.gle/2xGAUBKSVJTK7Wks9 The deadline to submit a response has been extended till 5 March 2021. Feel free to write in any language.
