Recherche
Je suis occasionnellement impliquée dans des programmes de recherche.
Ainsi, par exemple, de 2015 à 2017, je fus collaboratrice scientifique à SUPSI University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland dans le cadre du programme de recherche Wikipedia Primary School SSAJRP programme. Article publié à la suite de ces travaux : APA : Ford, H., Pensa, I., Devouard, F., Pucciarelli, M., & Botturi, L. (2018, March 27). Beyond notification: Filling gaps in peer production projects. https://doi.org/10.1177/1461444818760870
En 2018-2020, j’étais collaboratrice scientifique dans le cadre de l’étude Wiki Loves Africa Recruitment 2020 conduite par les chercheurs de la structure Civil Servant et un chercheur de l’Université Princeton (USA). Cette étude fut conduite dans le cadre de Wiki Loves Africa 2020.
Depuis 2025, je suis impliquée dans le projet de recherche Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change

Wikipedia Primary School
From 2015 till 2017, I was a scientific collaborator at SUPSI University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland in the joint research project Wikipedia Primary School SSAJRP programme.

The project aimed at:
- Bridging Wikipedia and primary education. This objective implies to move the Wikipedia community towards a focus on primary education, and at the same time to strengthen the capacity of the education ecosystem to contribute to Wikipedia, and in general to open collaborative knowledge.
- Enriching Wikipedia with new content relevant to primary education. This objective implies an assessment of the articles produced.
- Fostering the development of translations and new content in different Wikipedia linguistic editions. This objective implies the release of existing educational resources (OER in cc by or cc by-sa), the production of datasets and the involvement of the Wikimedia movement.
- Verifying and evaluating the use of Wikipedia as a source of information for primary education. This objective implies the involvement of stakeholders and data analysis.
Wikipedia Primary School contributed to universal primary education and to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG2: Achieve Universal Primary Education). Even if it is scalable and international, the project is conceived primarily to address African countries and languages.
The Swiss and South African joint research, implemented within the frame of the SSAJRP, focuses on the Wikipedia Primary School scalability and in developing the necessary network and tools to establish, promote and evaluate the project.
Milestones :
Improvement of 100 articles related to the South African primary school curriculum
Involvement of 5 scientific journals in the process of review
Establishment and implementation of a Wikipedia Scientific Journal
