Getting to the Source: Where Does Wikipedia Get Its Information From? - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2013, written by Heather Ford, Shilad Sen, David R. Musicant and Nathaniel Miller.
Overview
Authors ask what kinds of sources Wikipedians value most and compare Wikipedia's stated policy on sources to what authors observe in practice. Authors find that primary data sources developed by alternative publishers are both popular and persistent, despite policies that present such sources as inferior to scholarly secondary sources. Authors also find that Wikipedians make almost equal use of information produced by associations such as nonprofits as from scholarly publishers, with a significant portion coming from government information sources. Authors findings suggest the rise of new influential sources of information on the Web but also reinforce the traditional geographic patterns of scholarly publication. This has a significant effect on the goal of Wikipedians to represent "the sum of all human knowledge."
