- Additional information
- Wikipedia and the Politics of Openness is a book comprised of seven chapters, including the introduction and conclusion. Chapter one, Open Politics, contains material that was published as "From Open Source to Open Government: A Critique of Open Politics" and submitted to the previous REF. Chapter One of the book is a revised, extended and more polished version of the earlier article. It also contains a section on methodology that is not present in the earlier article. This new section grapples with methodological questions for the chapters that follow in light of the argument present in Chapter One.
