We invite contributions to Wiki Workshop 2021 which will take place virtually and as part of The Web Conference 2021. Wiki Workshop, now in its 8th edition, is an annual research event aimed at bringing together researchers who explore all aspects of the Wikimedia projects including Wikipedia (in more than 160 actively edited languages), Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wiktionary, and beyond. With members of the Wikimedia Foundation's Research team on the organizing committee and with the experience of successful workshops in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, we aim to continue facilitating a direct pathway for exchanging ideas between the organization that serves Wikimedia projects and the researchers interested in studying them.
This year’s edition of the workshop will celebrate the 20th birthday of Wikipedia.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
Papers should be 1 to 8 pages long and will be published on the workshop webpage and optionally (depending on the authors' choice) in the proceedings of the Web Conference 2021. The review process will be single-blind (as opposed to double-blind), i.e., authors should include their names and affiliations in their submissions. Authors whose papers are accepted to the workshop will have the opportunity to present their work to the workshop attendees as part of the workshop’s poster session.
We explicitly encourage the submission of preliminary work in the form of extended abstracts (1 or 2 pages).
