Featured project The Wikimedia Research Newsletter completes its first volume The monthly Wikimedia Research Newsletter launched in mid-2011 – shortly after the announcement of the Wikimedia Research Index – with the aim of covering recent academic research about Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Published jointly by the Wikimedia Research Committee and the Signpost, it has established itself as a comprehensive outlet enabling researchers and Wikipedians to stay on top of current research. The six issues published in the first volume (July-December 2011), featuring 87 unique references, are now available as a downloadable 45-page PDF, and a print version can be ordered from Pediapress. The full list of publications reviewed or covered in the Newsletter in 2011 can be browsed online or downloaded (as a BibTeX, RIS, PDF file or in other formats), ready to be imported into reference managers or other bodies of wiki research literature.
