Abstract

PurposeThe main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of Persian Scientific Papers (PSPs) on Persian Wikipedia by studying Wikipedia's citations to these papers.Design/methodology/approachThe present study is applied research, which has been performed by the web-mining method, such as downloading web pages, extracting information (references), identifying papers, detecting peer-review journals and calculating the frequency rates. The statistical population included 10,000 Persian Wikipedia Pages (PWPs) that were analyzed in two rounds with a six-month interval.FindingsThe number of pages containing the Persian references section was 3,994 and 4,063 out of the 10,000 pages extracted in the first and second rounds. The ratio of pages that cited scientific sources (58 and 67 pages) to the pages extracted from the PWP was equal to 0.58 and 0.67%. The ratio of pages that cited scientific sources to pages with Persian references in each round was equal to 1.45 and 1.64%. The number of references extracted from the PWP in each round equaled 30,441 and 35,891. Eight titles from reputable Persian journals had received at least three citations from Wikipedia.Originality/valueThe present study has determined the extent of interaction between science and society (knowledge flow) in the form of citations from Wikipedia articles to articles in peer-reviewed journals. The study of this issue in Persian Wikipedia in more than 2000 Persian peer-reviewed journals shows the originality of the present paper. Studying citation reliability in a collaborative and openly editable platform is another originality of the work.

分析波斯语维基百科的引文以发现波斯语科学论文的有效性：应用的网络挖掘技术

目的本研究的主要目的是通过研究维基百科对波斯语科学论文的引用来评估波斯语科学论文对波斯语维基百科的影响。设计/方法/方法本研究为应用研究，采用网络挖掘方法，包括网页下载、信息提取(参考文献)、论文识别、同行评议期刊检测和频率计算等。统计总体包括10,000个波斯语维基百科页面(pwp)，每隔6个月进行两轮分析。在第一轮和第二轮抽取的10,000页中，包含波斯语参考文献部分的页数分别为3,994页和4,063页。引用科学来源的页数(58页和67页)与从PWP中提取的页数之比分别为0.58和0.67%。在每一轮中，引用科学来源的页面与引用波斯语的页面的比例分别为1.45%和1.64%。每轮从PWP中提取的参考文献数量分别为30,441和35,891。来自著名波斯期刊的八篇文章至少被维基百科引用了三次。原创性/价值本研究以引用维基百科文章到同行评议期刊文章的形式确定了科学与社会(知识流)之间的相互作用程度。波斯语维基百科在2000多份波斯语同行评议期刊中对这个问题的研究显示了本论文的原创性。在一个协作和开放编辑的平台上研究引文可靠性是这项工作的另一个独创性。
