Scientific citations in Wikipedia

This paper worked to answer the question "How well do the outgoing scientific citations in Wikipedia compare with the citations seen between scientific journals?" A correlation was found between the number of Wikipedia references to a top journal and the total number of citations to that journal as well as the journal's impact factor. This looked at the 160 most cited journals from Wikipedia, and used statistics from the Journal Citations Report (JCR).
