[Deprecated] The Impact of Geographical Factors on Stack Overflow Contributions

(Contents of this replication package was moved to https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15671197) Software engineering is a complex interplay of technical and human factors. While traditionally focussed on functional requirements, research increasingly recognises the profound impact of human aspects on SE dynamics. This study comprises a series of interconnected investigations exploring this multifaceted relationship. Beginning with a tertiary study, it progresses through a global correlational analysis before narrowing to a US-focussed examination investigating semantic elements, community dynamics, and code quality dimensions. The research concludes with a qualitative study that validates the preceding quantitative findings by surveying actual Stack Overflow users. Findings illuminate how diversity shape collective intelligence, offering insights for inclusive ecosystems for theory and practice. This replication package is provided for those interested in further examining our research methodology.
