Collaborate/Research
Wikimedia, in the UK and internationally, work with researchers to support the conduct and dissemination of relevant research.
Research portals
The MetaWiki Research portal has various resources to support open-access research of the Wikimedia communities. This includes help with getting access to some non-public data such as deleted edits.
The portal includes a research newsletter which can be used to disseminate findings about Wikimedia projects, open-source communities and peer production.
Wikipapers is a free and open wiki/database collecting information about authors, research outlets, publications and events.
Wikimedia UK
Wikimedia UK runs conferences which welcome contributions from academics in topics such as open education, open access to research, or creation and reuse of free content.
The charity can offer small grants to help researchers disseminate research in line with its charitable objectives, for example with travel to conferences. Contact (info
