Hello, if I remember correctly there was some interesting research discussed here about citations to articles cited on Wikipedia. Can someone help me find that work?
It is hard to google for, because I keep turning up research on citing Wikipedia itself, which is not what I'm after. The question is: "Are articles that appear in Wikipedia citations preferentially cited when compared with other comparable articles?" This is related to the so-called "Matthew Effect" and along these lines I found a recent article that says "controlling for field and impact factor, the odds that an open access journal is referenced on the English Wikipedia are 47% higher compared to closed access journals." http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.07608 However, I'm interested in the "downstream" side, not the "upstream" side. TIA. Joe -- RMS: "I am not on vacation, but I am at the end of a long time delay.
