Wikimedia Research

Welcome to the new home of the Wikimedia Research Team. Bear with us until we expand this stub.

Mandate
The Wikimedia Research Team conducts qualitative and quantitative research to produce knowledge about Wikimedia’s users and projects. Our audience includes the Wikimedia Foundation's audience teams, members of the Wikimedia community, and external academic and research partners. Our goal is to provide strategic insights and technological solutions to the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia movement to inform the development of new products and foster innovation. The Research team brings together the Design Research team (formerly part of UX) and the Research and Data team (formerly part of Analytics).

Top Priorities
These are our current priorities for the 2015-16 fiscal year.
