Dear participant
You are invited to participate in a survey for the project "Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change: Assessing online open content and supporting community engagement. The case of Wikipedia", promoted by the Institute of Design at SUPSI (University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland), funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, and carried out with the patronage of Wikimedia Italia and partnerships with WikiProject Climate Change, Wikimedistas de Uruguay, Wiki in Africa, and the Open Climate Campaign.
The goal of this project is to co-design an open-source visual-analytics tool that helps editors, researchers, educators, and other stakeholders explore, assess, and monitor content across Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. The project focuses on climate change, but the tool will be adaptable to any topic of interest.
The survey aims to understand your needs and workflows when exploring climate‑change and sustainability data on Wikimedia projects. Your feedback will guide the design of the tool. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
