Session title: 10 Research Findings and How You Can Use Them in Your Work

Session type: Demonstration

Track: Research

Language: en

We share 10 findings from our research on the Wikimedia projects during the past year that you can utilize in your work.

Description

Every year the Research team [1] at the Wikimedia Foundation along with our Research Fellow, Formal Collaborators, Research Contractors and Interns spends thousands of hours conducting research on the Wikimedia projects. We communicate these findings through a variety of means including but not limited to publishing scientific papers [2] and the bi-annual Research Reports [3]. In this session we share with you 10 findings from the research conducted in the past year that we believe are important for you to be aware of. We hope that you utilize these findings when building tools, developing policies and guidelines, or conducting your line of work and research to improve the Wikimedia projects.
