The use of Wikipedia citations in scholarly research has been the topic of
much inquiry over the past decade. A cross-publisher study (Taylor & Francis
and University of Michigan Press) convened by Digital Science was established
in late 2022 to explore author sentiment towards Wikipedia as a trusted source
of information. A short survey was designed to poll published authors about
views and uses of Wikipedia and explore how the increased addition of research
citations in Wikipedia might help combat misinformation in the context of
increasing public engagement with and access to validated research sources.
With 21,854 surveys sent, targeting 40,402 papers mentioned in Wikipedia, a
total of 750 complete surveys from 60 countries were included in this analysis.
In general, responses revealed a positive sentiment towards research citation
in Wikipedia and the researcher engagement practices. However, our sub analysis
revealed statistically significant differences when comparison articles vs
books and across disciplines, but not open vs closed access. This study will
open the door to further research and deepen our understanding of authors
perceived trustworthiness of the representation of their research in Wikipedia.
