Mandate
Wikimedia Research is a team of scientists and engineers using data to understand and empower millions of readers and contributors who interact with Wikipedia and its sister projects on a daily basis.
We turn research questions into publicly shared knowledge. We design and test new technology, produce empirical insights to support new products and programs, and publish research informing the organization’s and the movement’s strategy.
We are strongly committed to principles of transparency, privacy, and open collaboration. We collaborate with a network of researchers in the industry and academia, and publish all our output in the open.
Zespół
We are a team with diverse backgrounds and expertise, collectively speaking more than 15 languages. Meet us!

Zasoby
- To learn more about our team's work, we invite you to read our bi-annual Research Report.
- Read our Research Community Mapping to learn more about how we serve each of our audiences and how we view our role in strengthening the Wikimedia Research Communities.
- Our research reports mostly live in the Research namespace on Meta. We aim to maintain a list of publicly-available datasets that come out of these projects.
- We host every month a showcase where we present publicly our work and invite guest speakers involved in Wikimedia research. You can browse past editions of the showcase on this page. The showcase has been running monthly since December 2013.
- We host every month office hours where you can ask us research-related questions (such as on datasets, projects, ...)
- We host Wiki Workshop, an annual forum bringing together researchers exploring all aspects of Wikimedia projects.
- If you're interested in staying on top of both internal and external research on our projects, check out our monthly newsletter (which you can also subscribe to by mail) or follow @WikiResearch on Twitter. The newsletter is mostly volunteer effort coordinated by Tilman and Miriam and has been proudly running since April 2011.
