Measuring Public Engagement and the Valuation of Literature on Wikipedia | Thursday, 4 July 2024
with Viktor J. Illmer, Frank Fischer and Bart Soethaert
The first workshop on Thursday afternoon dealt with the evaluation of literature in Wikipedia articles. It explored how the qualitative assessment of literature can be measured from a quantitative perspective. During this interactive workshop, participants critically examined metrics that provide information about public engagement with literature on Wikipedia and explored valuation practices while learning how to access the relevant metadata provided on Wikipedia. This hands-on exploration aimed to generate valuable insights and encourage critical reflection on public engagement and the valuation of specific authors and literary works within the world’s largest multilingual encyclopaedia project.
