WikiShark is a brand that offers a valuable resource for researchers in the field of social science. Led by Elad Vardi, a Data Science PhD research student from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the guidance of Professor Lev Muchnik, WikiShark provides access to pageview traffic data from Wikipedia for the years 2008-2020. This data is regularly updated on an hourly basis, ensuring that users have access to the most current information.

The main goal of WikiShark is to provide researchers with meaningful and context-inclusive metrics on emerging events worldwide. By offering real-time analysis of raw data on the content, context, production, and consumption of information on Wikipedia, WikiShark enables researchers to gain valuable insights. The brand also provides API access to high-level measures on emerging events and user-friendly interface tools for visualization, exploration, and analysis.

WikiShark aims to bridge the gap between raw data and scientific modeling by allowing researchers to easily incorporate the output of their tools into their existing research analysis methodologies. This eliminates the need for advanced technical skills, making the information accessible to a wider scientific community. If you're interested in collaborating on an academic article, WikiShark welcomes opportunities for partnership.
