== Project Summary ==
We want to better understand how and why Wikipedians add citations to articles in order to better support both tools and knowledge about citation as a knowledge-building practice in and out of the sciences.
== Methods ==
<!-- Describe in this section the methods you'll be using to conduct your research. If the project involves recruiting Wikimedia/Wikipedia editors for a survey or interview, please describe the suggested recruitment method and the size of the sample. Please note that subject recruitment requests will need to be reviewed by the Research Committee as per the FAQ -->
Interviews.
== Dissemination ==
<!-- Please describe in this section the dissemination strategy for your project: how are you planning to share your findings? Note that depending on the kind of support you receive from WMF, you may be required to share code or datasets produced as part of this project or to publish the results in open access outlets -->
Interviews will be analyzed and submitted to research venues; any resulting papers will be posted on the PI's website: http://andreaforte.net
== Wikimedia Policies, Ethics, and Human Subjects Protection ==
<!-- Please add to this section any consideration relevant to ethical implications of your project or references to Wikimedia policies, if applicable. If your study has been approved by an ethical committee or an institutional review board (IRB), please quote the corresponding reference and date of approval-->
Approved by Drexel University IRB on July 24, 2014.
== Benefits for the Wikimedia community ==
<!-- Will the output of this project provide tangible benefits for our community (in the form of data, software, Web services)? If the output of this project mainly consists of scholarly publications, what aspects of Wikimedia projects they will help to understand-->
We are working on a website to allow people to explore citations that are used on Wikipedia with the dual goals of helping readers think critically about sources and helping editors understand where they and others tend to get their information.
