Recently I had the honor of providing the opening keynote to the conference “Enhancing the voice of science on Wikipedia: How universities can collaborate with the online encyclopedia in science communication”, taking place from April 9–11, 2024, at University of Innsbruck.
I seized the opportunity to reflect on the following questions:
- How ‘scientific’ is Wikipedia?
- How important is science for Wikipedia?
- How important is Wikipedia for science?
- How important is Wikipedia for our common knowledge?
- What are potentials when science communication meets Wikipedia?
- What are the pitfalls?
- Is it worth it?
Please check out the video recording above and the slides below.
