LSE Library Guide: Using Wikipedia to Support Research Visibility

This is a guide produced by LSE Library's metadata manager, Helen Williams to help researchers update Wikipedia regarding topics related to their research.

Because Wikipedia is a go-to source of general and reliable information for much of the population, it is important for it to be accurate, up-to-date, and research-driven. Researchers cited on Wikipedia are likely to get greater visibility for their research, supporting open research initiatives. This guide explains how and why to do just that, as well as what to avoid.
