Impact of Wikipedia on Citation Trends - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2013, written by Khadijeh Alishah, Mahdieh Hadi, Saeedeh Hosseinian, Seyed Mohammad Amin Hosseini-Nami, Zhaleh Hosseini, Ali Karimi, Sayed-Amir Marashi, Reihaneh Sadat Mirhassani, Rouhallah RamezaniFard and Zahra Shojaie.

Overview

It has been suggested that the “visibility” of an article influences its citation count. More specifically, it is believed that the social media can influence article citations.Here authors tested the hypothesis that inclusion of scholarly references in Wikipedia affects the citation trends. To perform this analysis, authors introduced a citation “propensity” measure, which is inspired by the concept of amino acid propensity for protein secondary structures. Authors show that although citation counts generally increase during time, the citation “propensity” does not increase after inclusion of a reference in Wikipedia.
