Academics caught trying to make up for not being very big (in their field)

12 November 2013 The Tab

Whether or not an academic has a Wikipedia page says very little about the actual quality of their work, and could even indicate a lower quality.

 

Wikipedia Entries On Professors Mean Nothing, Study Finds

8 November 2013 Huffington Post

A new study from Anna Samoilenko and Taha Yasseri at the University of Oxford shows that Wikipedia entries or citations attributed to researchers and professors does not indicate that they are more prominent scholars.

 

Does Your Professor Have a Wikipedia Entry? Congrats! It Means Nothing

7 November 2013 The Atlantic

Having a Wikipedia page essentially means very little for academics. Just because an academic has a Wikipedia page doesn’t mean they are prolific or notable in their field.
