Hello,
I'm an employee of Wikimédia France and i'm writing to this
list because a project on sources is currently being launched in
partnership with the french ministry of research on the French and
English versions of Wikipedia. The aim is to study the different ways in
which sources are referenced in the French and English versions of
Wikipedia in order to feed a barometer put online by the MESR, which
measures the rate of scientific publications being opened. Initially,
all sources will be studied, followed by scientific sources and open
access scientific sources.
As part of this project, Wikimédia France
issued a call for tenders and a partner (Datactivist) was selected. The
aim of this project, as well as providing the barometer with new
indicators, will be to benefit the communities.
A first phase of
documentation is taking place and, in addition to the technical part of
analysing Wikipedia dumps, interviews are planned with researchers who
have carried out work on this topic as well as with contributors
interested in answering Datactivist's questions about the different
ways/tools/means of adding sources, referencing scientific works and
discussing sources in general on English Wikipedia (and French too)
If
you are interested in taking part in an hour-long discussion with our
partner, please send me an e-mail.
If you also know researchers who
have worked on the subject of sources, i'd be happy to get in touch.
Many thanks in advance,
MATHIEU DENEL

Advances in computational power and statistical algorithms, in conjunction with the increasing availability of large datasets, have led to a Cambrian explosion of machine learning (ML) methods. For population researchers, these methods are useful not only for predicting population dynamics but also as tools to improve causal inference tasks. However, the rapid evolution of this literature, coupled with terminological disparities from conventional approaches, renders these methods enigmatic and arduous for many population researchers to grasp.
This workshop on November 5 to 6, 2024 at the Max Planck Intsitute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany, clarifies the goals, techniques, and applications of machine learning methods for population research. The workshop covers
* an introduction to ML methods for population researchers,
* showcases of ML applications to answer causal questions,
* discussions of the current developments of ML for population health, fertility and family dynamics, and
* fosters critical discussions about the shortfalls of these techniques.
The main focus of this workshop is on ML techniques using quantitative population data and research questions, not on ML language models. The workshop consists of keynotes, contributed sessions, and a tutorial.
One keynote lecture will be delivered by Prof. Ian Lundberg (Cornell University, https://www.ianlundberg.org/).
Prof. Jennie E. Brand (UCLA, https://www.profjenniebrand.com/) will deliver an online talk.
This in-person workshop will take place in November 5-6 at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock. We invite population researchers with interest in ML applications. We aim to receive contributions from different fields of population sciences, such as population health, formal and social demography, public health and economics, among others.
We invite submission of original research abstract with relevance to ML and population sciences (max 500 words) and a CV (max. one page) to MLworkshop(a)demogr.mpg.de<mailto:MLworkshop@demogr.mpg.de>.
Submission Deadline: 30. April 2024
Decisions on the selection will be communicated before May 15th.
Please direct any questions to MLworkshop(a)demogr.mpg.de<mailto:MLworkshop@demogr.mpg.de>.
Organization committee: Angela Carollo, Aapo Hiilamo, Mikko Myrskyla.
The workshop has no fees. Participants are expected to cover their travel and accommodation but limited financial support, offered on a competitive basis, is available for junior scientists or scientists from low-middle income countries. Please indicate the request for such funding at the time of abstract submission.
The workshop is organized by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and The Max Planck - University of Helsinki Center for Social Inequalities in Population Health.

The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research invites submissions from researchers working on or interested in scholarly migration and mobility to attend a one-day symposium in Rostock on October 15, 2024. The symposium aims to promote lively exchange and collaboration among a group of interdisciplinary scientists (from areas such data science, scientometrics, demography, science of science, sociology, migration studies, and more) with interests related to scholarly migration and scientific mobility. We welcome submissions that use a broad set of methods and data. The use of the Scholarly Migration Database (https://www.scholarlymigration.org/) is particularly encouraged, but not required.
Some relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following ones:
* Analysis of scholarly migration patterns by country or region
* Analysis of scholarly migration patterns by academic age, gender, and other characteristics
* Policy effects on scholarly migration and mobility
* Analysis of collaboration networks and scholarly mobility
* Divergence in scholarly migration and mobility by field
* Complementary data sources to study migration of scholars (including surveys and registers)
* Decision-making process in the context of international and internal scholarly migration
* Patterns of scholarly migration over the life course
* The role of family dynamics and gender disparities for migration of scientists
* Differences and similarities of migration of the highly-skilled and scholars compared with the general population.
The Scholarly Migration and Mobility Symposium is organized in collaboration with the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP), Digital and Computational Demography Panel. Submissions must be in English and include a draft of the paper or an extended abstract (2-4 pages). In order to receive full consideration, submissions should be received by May 25, 2024 (12:00 am, CET). Notifications of the outcome will be sent out by the end of June 2024.
Link for submission: https://s.gwdg.de/DWUDUm
Travel support: All selected presenters will be offered accommodation in Rostock for two nights (14-15 October 2024). A limited number of travel grants to subsidize the costs of flights and/or trains will be available for presenting students or early career scientists with high-quality submissions, and with demonstrated need for financial support.
Provided that there is enough interest from participants, we will consider making arrangements for a special issue of a highly reputable journal on the topic of scholarly migration and mobility.
More information: You can find more information on the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR<http://www.demogr.mpg.de/en>) and the Scholarly Migration Database (SMD<https://www.scholarlymigration.org/index.html>) by visiting the respective web pages.

Hi everyone,
We invite your contributions to the Wiki Workshop Hall, a new track as part
of Wiki Workshop 2024 <https://wikiworkshop.org/> which will take place
virtually as a standalone event on June 20, 2024 (tentatively 12:00-19:00
UTC).
The Hall will be a novel space for Wikimedia researchers and Wikimedia
movement members to connect with each other. Through this new track, we aim
to provide a dedicated space for learning, exchange of ideas, the spark of
curiosity, and community building.
We welcome proposals that align with the interactive and collaborative
spirit of the Wiki Workshop Hall and look forward to a wide variety of
content: experiences and learnings, knowledge pieces, how-tos, open
questions, pain points, etc. During the Hall, a breakout room will be set
up for each accepted proposal, so that Wiki Workshop attendees can move
between rooms to interact with their hosts.
