If the output of this project mainly consists of scholarly publications, what aspects of Wikimedia projects will they help to understand
Methods[edit]
Describe in this section the methods you'll be using to conduct your research. If the project involves recruiting Wikimedia/Wikipedia editors for a survey or interview, please describe the suggested recruitment method and the size of the sample.

The project will not collect any personal information on users and will not link the response to the account.
