Modeling Dynamics of Wikipedia: an Empirical Analysis Using a Vector Error Correction Model - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2017, written by Feng-Jun Liu, Jiang-Nan Qiu and Na Zhao.

Overview

In this paper, authors constructed a system dynamic model of Wikipedia based on the co-evolution theory, and investigated the interrelationships among topic popularity, group size, collaborative conflict, coordination mechanism, and information quality by using the vector error correction model (VECM). This study provides a useful framework for analyzing the dynamics of Wikipedia and presents a formal exposition of the VECM methodology in the information system research.
