== Who is currently doing research on Wikis and Wikipedia? ==
* '''[[User:Nichtich|Jakob Voss]]''' (studying computer science and library science in Berlin, Germany) - writing masters thesis on wikipedia - see his [http://wm.sieheauch.de/ Research Blog]
* '''Julien Levrel''' (studying sociology in France) - started a PhD on cooperation and collaboration using wiki
* [http://nsk.wikinerds.org Nikolaos S. Karastathis] (studying Computer Science) - doing university dissertation research on wikis and content management systems. Mainly on the [http://maatworks.wikinerds.org/index.php/NGWP software] and theoretical aspects of it, but also pays some attention to sociological implications.
* '''Chitu Okoli''', Assistant Professor in Management Information Systems, Concordia University, Montréal, Canada (see [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2004-July/000741.html July 2004] and [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2005-March/028350.html March 2005] "is analyzing the featured article nomination process for a research project"
* '''Cormac Lawler''' ([[en:User:Cormaggio|Cormaggio]]) (studying a M.Ed in Communications, Education and Technology in Manchester, U.K.) - writing masters dissertation on Wikipedia as a learning community
* '''Martin Erpicum''' (studying sociology in Belgium) - i'm working on fr.wikipedia.org
* '''Andrea Forte''' ([[en:User:Andicat|Andicat]]) - Ph.D. student in human-centered computing at Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, GA, USA), studying online learning communities
* '''[http://reagle.org/joseph/blog Joseph Reagle]''' ([[en:User:Reagle|Reagle]]) - A Ph.D. candidate at NYU studying collaberative culture (e.g. [http://reagle.org/joseph/2004/agree/wikip-agree.html A Case of Mutual Aid: Wikipedia, Politeness, and Perspective]
*'''[[User:Rosskurator|Andreas Brändle]]''' (studying communication science in Zurich, Switzerland) - writing thesis on quality in the german Wikipedia.
* '''Joachim Schroer''' and '''Prof. Guido Hertel''': Survey (18-3-2005 till 8-4-2005): http://www.psychologie.uni-wuerzburg.de/ao/research/wikipedia.php
* '''[http://www.dsv.su.se/~petter/ Petter Karlström]''' - Ph.D. student in Human-Computer Interaction, studying online learning communities. Hopefully not too similar to Andrea Forte's work!
* '''[http://www.beefchickenpork.org/kate Kate Raynes-Goldie]''' ([[en:User:katerg|katerg]]) and '''[http://www.exposedbrain.com/fono David Fono]''' are examining the Green Party of Canada's use of a wiki to create their last platform. See the [http://www.online-deliberation.net/conf2005/viewabstract.php?id=34 abstract] for the [http://www.online-deliberation.net/ Online Deliberation 2005 Conference].
* '''Kevin Carillo''' (MSc. student in admistration in Montreal, Canada; doing master's thesis on Wikipedia) see [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2005-April/029007.html]
* '''Boud Roukema''' [[User:Boud|Boud]] (cosmologist in Poland) - proposed project for wikimania meeting - at the moment see my home page [[w:User:Boud]] - i'm particularly interested in whether positive and negative feedback processes in the wikisphere (especially wikimedia wikis) tend to override the fundamental bias (non-neutrality) induced by favouring people with internet access and by favouring ''reputable'' primary sources. i'd be happy to do cooperate on this, but my (idealistic) hope is that the article will be GFDL and the software will be user-friendly and GPL so that others can easily build on the results.

* [http://debianlinux.net/wikicompany/ mgraph] - tool for extracting the graphs formed by article and category links from a mediawiki database
