Concept

Amplifying the impact of open access: Wikipedia and the diffusion of science data collection

  • Collected 250 high impact journals from 26 fields (due to some articles falling into more than one category, a total of 4,721 distinct journals were obtained); 335 journals were open access
  • Calculated impact factor using the 2013 SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) impact factor that also considers self-citations and the varying reputations of journals
  • Wikipedia citations were retrieved from the November 15, 2014 database and sorted using Wikipedia’s cite-journal template (311,947 “cite-journal” tags in total)
  • 203,536 tags were journals indexed in Scopus; 32,361 articles were linked to Scopus journals covering the 250 chosen research fields
