Transparency and Social Responsibility Issues for Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Adele Santana and Donna J. Wood.
Overview
Wikipedia is known as a free online encyclopedia. Wikipedia uses largely transparent writing and editing processes, which aim at providing the user with quality information through a democratic collaborative system. However, one aspect of these processes is not transparent--the identity of contributors, editors, and administrators. Authors argue that this particular lack of transparency jeopardizes the validity of the information being produced by Wikipedia. Authors analyze the social and ethical consequences of this lack of transparency in Wikipedia for all users, but especially students; authors assess the corporate social performance issues involved, and authors propose courses of action to compensate for the potential problems. Authors show that Wikipedia has the appearance, but not the reality, of responsible, transparent information production.
