Evaluating the Comprehensiveness of Wikipedia: the Case of Biochemistry - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2007, written by Brendan Luyt, Wee Tin Kwek, Ju Wei Sim and Peng York.

Overview

In recent years, the world of encyclopedia publishing has been challenged as new collaborative models of online information gathering and sharing have developed. Most notable of these is Wikipedia. Although Wikipedia has a core group of devotees, it has also attracted critical comment and concern, most notably in regard to its quality. In this article authors compare the scope of Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica in the subject of biochemistry using a popular first year undergraduate textbook as a benchmark for concepts that should appear in both works, if they are to be considered comprehensive in scope.
