As usual, we are preparing this regular survey on recent academic research about Wikipedia, doubling as the Wikimedia Research Newsletter (now in its fifteenth volume). Help is welcome to review or summarize the many interesting items listed here, as are suggestions of other new research papers that haven't been covered yet.

@JPxG: In my view, this was not ready for publication when it went out. Now, that's largely on me, and since the publication deadline had passed, I wouldn't have begrudged you for simply leaving it out of this issue. But as you chose to include it with just the draft of this single story basically as-is (which wasn't even yet marked as ready to be copyedited), it should be noted that its author had explicitly asked for feedback on this draft (not a bad idea, given the somewhat sensitive topic - scrutinizing the flows of significant amounts of money and criticizing the failures of various grantees); I do hope you gave it a thorough review before publishing.
As we didn't get to cover any research publications in this issue, I'm repurposing this talk page section and the above linked to-do list pad for the upcoming issue.
Move these up to the appropriate position as required (e.g. adjacent to News and Notes). Copy the section header from the submission page into the |Submission= parameter so that the "Check status" button appears and works correctly.
