While not quite what you are looking for, this page is perhaps a good resource for anyone interested in the intersection of 'wikipedia' and research, and the works cited by the authors of this growing list may have clues for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_Research_on_Wikipedia On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 9:54 PM, Mike Chapman <mcchapman@mac.com> wrote:
Hello,
Is anyone familiar with any publications that discuss using a wiki in qualitative research? In other words, studies where the researcher actually used the wiki as a method to facilitate interaction between researcher and participants for whatever reason? I have looked through qualitative research journals, the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, and New Media & Society but can't locate anything.
I would think there has to be something out there but perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places? Thanks in advance for any insight.
