维基百科词条信息质量的研究现状

当前国外对维基百科词条信息质量评价研究已成为一个热点，而国内研究才刚刚起步。国外学者主要采用内容分析、任务实验、焦点访谈、用户调查和多智能代理模拟等方法和技术，从维基百科词条页面、编辑页面以及信息用户等方面提出了信息质量的主要影响指标，如表6-17所示。一方面，国外的研究大多侧重于从单个方面提出维基百科词条信息质量的影响指标并对其进行验证，缺乏对维基百科词条有关质量问题的全面而深入的研究，因而所提出的模型缺乏通用性；另一方面，国外的研究大多是基于特定情境的小样本的探索性研究，诸如特定的评价任务、特定的信息用户（在校大学生等），而不是面向自然的、常规的信息使用环境和互联网用户大众，研究结果具有局限性。因此，有必要对这些丰富的实证或实验研究结论结合相关质量评价理论进行系统、规范的分析、比较和归纳，以构建出一个不依赖于具体情境的、对不同类型信息用户适用的维基百科词条信息质量启发式评价框架，为广大信息用户挑选和判别维基百科词条提供相应的基准、标准和方法。
