Exploring the Use of Social Media to Measure Journal Article Impact
Researchers tested the hypothesisthat PubMed articles referenced in Wikipedia have higher impact. A correlation was found between the number of PubMed journals cited in Wikipedia and the journal's impact factor, based on the number of citations a journal article has and its F1000 score. What was concluded was that the higher a journal's impact score, the the more likely it would be cited in Wikipedia.
