Integrating Wikipedia with scholarly communication - News - Illinois State

While Wikipedia is intended to be a general knowledge encyclopedia created by volunteers and reviewed by the general community of users, there are efforts to more closely integrate the contents with academic journal articles. This effort is being spearheaded by the WikiJournal User Group which seeks to “provide free, quality-assured knowledge” and enable “expert contributions in the traditional academic publishing format to improve Wikipedia content” through the Wiki Journal Project.
