Editing The Wikipedia Adventure

Project page for The Wikipedia Adventure paper co-authored by Sneha Narayan, Jake Orlowitz, Jonathan Morgan, Mako Hill, and Aaron Shaw.


==Current Status ==

We are in the process of revising this for submission to CSCW 2017. The timeline and milestones for submission are living on this page (below).

==Resources==
* We're writing on sharelatex. The project [https://www.sharelatex.com/project/55fc2a70e04e2805561cecbd lives here].
* Bibliography is currently stored in a shared zotero directory. Aaron and Mako can share access if needed.


== Current TO DO list ==
* '''introduction'''
** focus on two study framing
** Change framing to show that two studies were always part of the plan
** Incorporate idea that large scale field testing is important
** emphasize hypotheses
*** challenges of deploying new systems in a massive community with passionate, experienced members
*** large-scale user survey and invitation-based field experiment under realistic conditions provide more useful evidence (than hallway testing or small-scale usability studies).
* '''Background and prior work'''
** Continue to improve gamification subsection (mako)
* '''System design'''
** Use Webstrates paper (UIST 2015) as a model (mako)
* '''Study 1:'''
** replace bar charts w new visualizations (sn)
* '''Study 2:'''
** emphasize hypotheses
** add details of random assignment (sn)
** add more descriptive information about the sample and experiment
** incorporate randomization check (compare days in study across treatment & control)
** restrict main analysis to last 100 days of sampling (sn)
*** revise '''all''' reported statistics to reflect this
** include boxplots (w scatter) of dependent variables for all treatment and control units. 
* '''Discussion & Conclusion''' (sn, jm)
** Make sure to address big contributions
** Note that most studies on gamified systems don't do quantitative impact assessment, highlight this as a contribution of our study
* '''Throughout'''
** Add citations currently in text
** Remove excess uses of passive voice
** Add keywords and ACM categories.

== Recent changes log ==

* re-built refs-processed and eliminated missing citation errors (as)
* change language around Teahouse (jm)
* compress the introduction. reduce redundancy (as)

==Timeline for CSCW 2017 submission==

* do multiple passes through the whole paper, editing language, grammar and everything else (sn, as, whoever else wants to)
* share this with folks peer reviewing CSCW paper (sn)
* read it a hundred times, make sure the title works

===Friday, May 27th===
* submit final version! (though earlier is better)

== Post-submission TO-DO list ==

* Reproducibility
** Create RData files for all datasets, models, results, etc.
** Convert paper to .rnw (knitr).
** Create communitydata (wiki?) page to host reproducibility content
** Make sure git repository is up to date and all files have READMEs
* Study 2 analysis
** Report full models w all model fit stats etc. (presumably we cut this down for the CHI note. No need for CSCW).
** Collect additional covariates and include them in the models
*** user data via API (gender, edit count pre-inclusion in the study, etc.)
*** added measures should enhance precision of estimates (even smaller SEs!)
** Convert boxplots to a faceted grid in ggplot2.
