#REDIRECT [[Research:Index]]
'''Research''' on [[en:Wiki|wikis]] often focuses on three main areas: aspects related to content, socio-political sphere, and technology. Among the research on wikies, this page is primarily focused on research in the [[Wikimedia projects]] and communities. Please note the following key resources for conducting research:

* For all Wikimedia-related research, there is a dedicated discussion list, [http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l wiki-research-l]. If you conduct Wikimedia-related research, you are invited to be on this list. Being part of the list might facilitate you valuable feedback, to spread and discusse your research, network and to keep informed on the state of the art.
* For the area of technology specifically, there is the general development mailing list, [http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l wikitech-l], and the [[mw:Main Page|MediaWiki.org wiki]].
* The [[Research Committee]] is a Wikimedia Foundation committee which helps to organize policies, practices and priorities around Wikimedia-related research, and, more generally, to contribute to fill the gap between research and wikimedia world.
* [[strategy:Main Page|Strategy Wiki]] was used for Wikimedia's five-year planning process in 2009-2010, hosts a large [[strategy:Fact base|fact base]] related to Wikimedia projects, and continues to be used for community consultation and self-organization around strategic questions.

Below are lists of researchers and resources -- feel free to add yourself. For research on wikis in general (not limited to [[Wikimedia]]), [[en:WikiSym|WikiSym]] provides an important annual forum particularly for the wiki analytics approuch.

== Research Projects ==

Here is a listing of current and proposed research projects: '''[[Research/Projects]]'''. If you wish to start a research project and invite others to comment, you are invited to list it at the preceding link.
