| talk1-abstract = This study aims to enhance the value of bibliographic references in Wikipedia articles by moving beyond just citation counts and exploiting Wikipedia article features and engagement metrics, like page views and talks, to enrich the context of references and deepen the understanding of the relationship between science and society.
| talk1-abstract =The untapped potential of Wikipedia as a mirror of society's evolving interests and concerns is explored. Recognizing Wikipedia as a vast, interactive repository of human knowledge, the investigation focuses on how patterns of edits, views, and discussions within Wikipedia articles, as well as their features, can serve as real-time indicators of public interest and engagement. Key findings reveal that Wikipedia is not just an information source but a reflection of collective concerns, capturing significant trends and shifts in societal focus. Additionally, it allows for the highlighting of both local and international interests. These implications are far-reaching, offering valuable insights for the Wikipedia community, academic researchers, policymakers, and the general public. Understanding the dynamics of public engagement on Wikipedia can inform content strategies, shape research agendas, and guide public policy, while also providing a deeper appreciation of the impact and significance of contributions made by the global Wikipedia community.

| talk2-title = Gender and country biases in Wikipedia citations to scholarly publications
| talk2-presenter = Chaoqun Ni, University of Wisconsin-Madison
| talk2-abstract =Ensuring Wikipedia cites scholarly publications based on quality and relevancy without biases is critical to credible and fair knowledge dissemination. We investigate gender- and country-based biases in Wikipedia citation practices using linked data from the Web of Science and a Wikipedia citation dataset. Using coarsened exact matching, we show that publications by women are cited less by Wikipedia than expected, and publications by women are less likely to be cited than those by men. Scholarly publications by authors affiliated with non-Anglosphere countries are also disadvantaged in getting cited by Wikipedia, compared with those by authors affiliated with Anglosphere countries. The level of gender- or country-based inequalities varies by research field, and the gender-country intersectional bias is prominent in math-intensive STEM fields. To ensure the credibility and equality of knowledge presentation, Wikipedia should consider strategies and guidelines to cite scholarly publications independent of the gender and country of authors.
