Editing How to cite Segregation Wiki (section)

== <big>About Segregation Wiki</big> ==

<big>Segregation Wiki emerged from a comprehensive meta-study on ''The Multidisciplinary Landscape of Segregation Research''. By examining open-access excerpts from over 10,000 documents in the Scopus database, we identified and mapped 804 distinct forms of segregation (SFs) studied across more than 160 disciplinary fields, dating back to 1913. These SFs were uncovered using a bottom-up methodology, reflecting the diversity of segregation research over the past century.</big> 

<big>This platform was envisioned and brought to life to foster collaborative research on segregation.</big> <big>Most of the initial definitions for the identified SFs were generated through a large language model (LLM) and are designed to evolve through the collaborative contributions of the research community. Linguist and glossary expert Dr. Satia Marini synthesized definitions for the fifty most-researched segregation forms based on key works in the specialized literature. These definitions were further reviewed and refined by Segregation Wiki administrators Maria Fiszon and Vinicius Netto.</big> <big>We hope</big> <big>that collaborative effort will ensure that the platform</big> <big>continue</big><big>s</big> <big>to</big> <big>evolve</big> <big>in line with the e</big><big>merging</big> <big>needs</big> <big>and insights</big> <big>of the research community.</big>

<big>At its core, Segregation Wiki is organized around a comprehensive '''[https://segregationwiki.cityscience.group/index.php/An_Ontology_of_Segregation ontology of segregation forms]''' — a systematic, bottom-up classification that semantically organizes access to this vast transdisciplinary landscape. This is the first classification of its kind in segregation research. By leveraging network analysis and AI-driven semantic generation, the ontology maps relationships between various forms of segregation as they appear in the literature, grouped under distinct labels or types. You can explore a high-resolution, [https://kimonkrenz.github.io/openseadragon/ zoomable figure] for more detail, or navigate the [https://segregation-ontology.cityscience.group/ interactive ontology], which is currently under development.</big>
