@unpublished{6897, author = {Amira Rezgui and Kevin Crowston and Nicolas Jullien}, title = {Life-cycle Changes in Modes of Coordination in Wikipedia Articles}, abstract = {We present evidence of explicit and non-explicit coordination (i.e., coordination mediated or not by discussion) in the context of Wikipedia. Using a novel approach to identifying edits to the same part of a Wikipedia article, we show that a majority of edits in a small sample of articles are not associated with discussion on the article Talk page. However, we find that explicit coordination seems related to article quality. Analyzing different modes of coordination over the articles’ life cycle, we show that explicit coordination seems to follow non-explicit in higher quality articles.}, year = {2018}, language = {eng}, }
