Overview
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present an approach to evaluating contributions in collaborative authoring environments, and in particular, Wikis using social network measures.Design/methodology/approach – A social network model for Wikipedia has been constructed, and metrics of importance such as centrality have been defined.
