What Do Wikidata and Wikipedia Have in Common?: an Analysis of Their Use of External References - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2017, written by Alessandro Piscopo, Pavlos Vougiouklis, Lucie-Aimée Kaffee, Christopher Phethean, Jonathon S. Hare and Elena Simperl.

Overview

Wikidata is a community-driven knowledge graph, strongly linked to Wikipedia. However, the connection between the two projects has been sporadically explored. Authors investigated the relationship between the two projects in terms of the information they contain by looking at their external references. Authors findings show that while only a small number of sources is directly reused across Wikidata and Wikipedia, references often point to the same domain. Furthermore, Wikidata appears to use less Anglo-American-centred sources. These results deserve further in-depth investigation.
