Wikipedia as a Space for Discursive Constructions of Globalization - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2017, written by Rainer Rubira and Gisela Gil-Egui.
Overview
The notion of globalization has yielded a rich literature, both scholarly and popular, that reveals the highly contested nature of the meaning of the term. This article focuses on Wikipedia as one of the most popular reference sites worldwide, and compares, through computer-assisted text analysis and qualitative reading, entries for the word ‘globalization’ in six major Western languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.
