This is the canonical directory of Wikimedia research projects that are planned, underway or have recently been completed. This list includes projects run or hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation as well as projects run by the research and editor community. Research projects are documented on many different wikis, but should all be findable through the Research namespace. To qualify for inclusion in this list, a project should be significant in scope and ethical in nature (according to the guidelines [to be] developed by the Research:Committee). New research proposals and support requests are reviewed by the Research Committee. You can add your project or submit a support request using the form below.
