Research on Wikipedia Vandalism: a brief literature review <s> Introduction. <s> Since its establishment in 2001, Wikipedia, "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" has become a cultural icon of the unlimited possibilities of the World Wide Web. Thus, it has become a serious subject of scholarly study to objectively and rigorously understand it as a phenomenon. This paper reviews studies of Wikipedia that have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Among the wealth of studies reviewed, major sub-streams of research covered include: how and why Wikipedia works; assessments of the reliability of its content; using it as a data source for various studies; and applications of Wikipedia in different domains of endeavour. <s> BIB001 </s> Research on Wikipedia Vandalism: a brief literature review <s> Introduction. <s> We report on the construction of the PAN Wikipedia vandalism corpus, PAN-WVC-10, using Amazon's Mechanical Turk. The corpus compiles 32452 edits on 28468 Wikipedia articles, among which 2391 vandalism edits have been identified. 753 human annotators cast a total of 193022 votes on the edits, so that each edit was reviewed by at least 3 annotators, whereas the achieved level of agreement was analyzed in order to label an edit as "regular" or "vandalism." The corpus is available free of charge. <s> BIB002 </s> Research on Wikipedia Vandalism: a brief literature review <s> Introduction. <s> I here give an overview of Wikipedia and wiki research and tools. Well over 1,000 reports have been published in the field and there exist dedicated scientific meetings for Wikipedia research. It is not possible to give a complete review of all material published. This overview serves to describe some key areas of research.The present version is a working draft. <s> BIB003 </s> Research on Wikipedia Vandalism: a brief literature review <s> Introduction. <s> Wikipedia was formally launched in 2001, but the first research papers mentioning it appeared only in 2002. Since then it raised a huge amount of interest in the research community. At first mainly the content creation processes and the quality of the content were studied, but later on it was picked up as a valuable source for data mining and for testing. In this paper we present preliminary results that characterize the research done on and using Wikipedia since 2002. <s> BIB004 </s> Research on Wikipedia Vandalism: a brief literature review <s> Introduction. <s> This short paper analyzes Wikipedia as an object of scientific research, contrasting various studies dealing with that popular encyclopedia. The conclusion is that Wikipedia, as a manifestation of collaborative production and consumption of knowledge, is a valid subject of scientific research. <s> BIB005 </s> Research on Wikipedia Vandalism: a brief literature review <s> Introduction. <s> We report on the construction of the Wikidata Vandalism Corpus WDVC-2015, the first corpus for vandalism in knowledge bases. Our corpus is based on the entire revision history of Wikidata, the knowledge base underlying Wikipedia. Among Wikidata's 24 million manual revisions, we have identified more than 100,000 cases of vandalism. An in-depth corpus analysis lays the groundwork for research and development on automatic vandalism detection in public knowledge bases. Our analysis shows that 58% of the vandalism revisions can be found in the textual portions of Wikidata, and the remainder in structural content, e.g., subject-predicate-object triples. Moreover, we find that some vandals also target Wikidata content whose manipulation may impact content displayed on Wikipedia, revealing potential vulnerabilities. Given today's importance of knowledge bases for information systems, this shows that public knowledge bases must be used with caution. <s> BIB006
A review of the bibliography published on a subject makes it possible to identify those aspects that are of particular interest for research. In recent years, Wikipedia has been the subject of various systematic bibliographic reviews  . The results of these reviews have been used to define and characterise Wikipedia as a subject of social and scientific/technical research and development BIB004 BIB005 , and to identify significant topics or areas of research within it. One of the fields of research that appears related to the quality of the content of Wikipedia, and that is related to the collaborative editing process that supports it, is the study of vandalism. This user behaviour has been defined by Wikipedia itself as "... any addition, removal, or change of content, in a deliberate attempt to damage Wikipedia". As stated by Nielsen "Vandalism in Wikipedia presents usually not a problem: It will just be one more aspect to investigate" BIB003 . The interest in this aspect has been reflected in the holding of two International Competitions on Wikipedia Vandalism Detection in 2010 and 2011, in the context of the Cross Language Evaluation Forum Conferences, CLEFs   . Two corpora of data have also been created for tests; the first of these is composed from articles of Wikipedia that have been edited BIB002 , while the second has been created from Wikidata data editing BIB006 . Several systematic reviews have selected and studied the literature published about Wikipedia to identify research areas and fronts that have mentioned vandalism. Okoli BIB001 prepared a list of research topics without specifically citing vandalism. Martin  stressed the areas of quality (where he included vandalism), trust, semantic aspects, and governance and society. Jullien  , from a perspective based on the study of the community, indicates motivation for participation, the interaction patterns and processes (with a minor mention of vandals) and quality assessment as areas of interest. Nielsen BIB003 classifies research into four major categories. These are identified as those that study Wikipedia (where he includes the study of vandalism), that use information from Wikipedia, that explore technical extensions (including those that could be used against vandalism), and those that use Wikipedia as a communication resource. Mesgari et al.  , in the most recent review on the subject, grouped together papers into two large blocks, one relating to the quality of the content and the other to the size, without specifically dealing with vandalism. The objective of this paper is to develop a systematic review of the academic literature published on vandalism on Wikipedia. The aim of this review is to: identify the applicable areas of knowledge in the subject (RQ1); the development over time of the number of publications (RQ2); the various research objectives proposed in the works consulted (RQ3); and the methods and techniques used (RQ4). We have not found any other similar paper in the available literature.
