Fwd: [Asis-l] Deadline reminder *** Encyclopedia of Networked and Virtual Organizations *** Call for Contributions ***

Possible publication opportunity for someone.... Here is the list of
topics that they are considering:
http://www.2100books.com/Enc_Topics.htm (see esp. "networks as
communities"). I'd be willing to work with others to write an article
but the deadline is soon.

Looks interesting and I was just about to compile a list but this is 
old-school out-of-date dead-tree ;-) They should have set up a Wiki or 
try to collect Wikipedia articles instead.

Well, we can try to submit some reviewed and cleaned Wikipedia articles. 
  They want articles by idividuals that are original and not submitted 
for publication or published elsewhere but this is dull: we're all 
standing on the shoulders of giants. Instead of blaming them more for 
their traditional model of publication we can just try to submit 
something that has been collaboratively created und licensed under a 
open content license.

P.S: Funny note: http://www.2100books.com ist at the spam-protection 
list at meta.wikipedia.org but that's probably an accident!

This strikes upon an interesting tension, I think.

If it's a "publishing opportunity for someone" then we're talking
about the traditional publishing model... being a Wikipedia scholar
can be aggravating. On the one hand wanting to contribute and foster
growth in the wiki way, on the other hand needing to obtain the
resquisite credibility to operate in academia--get funding, jobs, etc,
in order to continue contributing!

Incidentally, I get publisher "spam" all the time. "Dear researcher,
you have been selected to submit a paper to..." This one may not be
spam, but it does exist, so it's not out of the question that the URL
could have been flagged correctly.

I guarantee that the author will have to sign a legal form explicitly
conferring ownership of the work in the case of acceptance for
publication.

This is EXACTLY why I love wiki so much. :-) BECAUSE it makes no sense
in the traditional publishing world.

wiki research techniques

Researchers,

I have a meta-research question :) … does anyone know if a list of
techniques for researching wikis (both qualitatively and
quantitatively) has been collected anywhere? I'm envisioning an
annotated bibliography format of research techniques and the various
studies that have used them to date, though other formats would be
possible. I haven't seen such a compilation anywhere and was thinking
of putting one together (realizing that it's an ambitious project!)
Have any of you done such a thing already, know if it's been done
already, or have thoughts about such a project?

cheers,
phoebe

Phoebe,

there's an excellent wiki research bibliography run by Jakob Voss and
Patrick Danowski (amongst others) at http://bibliography.wikimedia.de/
(read only access) - use it to search articles by keyword, author,
etc. If you can't find what you're looking for there, and you find
articles elsewhere that would be suitable, it would be an idea to
apply for write access to add these articles. I'm currently doing a
literature review (but not totally wiki based stuff) for my research
and I really should get around to adding whatever I find too ;-) (Do
you have access yourself to online resources via Athens login or some
other such system?)

As Cormac wrote: http://bibliography.wikimedia.de/

If you need something more specific (list of researchers, list of 
conferences, list of result-in-a-sentence, list of data sources...) then 
I'd prefer http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research - it's not up to date 
but it's a wiki so just change it ;-)

Re: wiki research techniques

Beat Honegger does resarch on Wikis, he has a really interesting
bibliography site. It's in German, but here's the page that lists
entries tagged "wiki." You need to scroll down to the bottom of the
page for the list.

Re: wiki research techniques

Are you refering exclusively to WikiMedia Foundation sites and hence information contents and dynamics research?

Since you are asking about wikis in general, we had the first research conference on wikis in October 2005, see www.wikisym.org for proceedings and annotated conference paper sessions. The proceedings gives you a glimpse at what people are doing. The 2006 CfP should be out in a week or so.

Beat Doebeli Honegger has a bibliography online, but contents is as diverse as the ways you can do research about wikis. If mostly you are interested in information dynamics etc. like Wikipedia contents, you'll probably have to go to the various research groups.

I'd also search Wikipedia itself :-)

Bibliography online again

Hi

sorry for the delay - http://bibliography.wikimedia.de/ was offline 
during update problems. Wikindx 3.2.2 now supports tag clouds:

http://bibliography.wikimedia.de/index.php?action=browseKeyword
http://bibliography.wikimedia.de/index.php?action=browseCollection
http://bibliography.wikimedia.de/index.php?action=browseCreator
http://bibliography.wikimedia.de/index.php?action=browsePublisher
http://bibliography.wikimedia.de/index.php?action=browseCategory

Feel free to send me suggestions for better categories or ask me for an 
account and help tagging and describing the works if you like!

Greetings,
Jakob

Wow, that's great - thanks Jakob :-)

One suggestion that occurred to me was that papers sometimes need two
url links: one to the html version and one to the pdf file - is this
possible?
