Purpose

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of Persian Scientific Papers (PSPs) on Persian Wikipedia by studying Wikipedia's citations to these papers.

Design/methodology/approach

The present study is applied research, which has been performed by the web-mining method, such as downloading web pages, extracting information (references), identifying papers, detecting peer-review journals and calculating the frequency rates. The statistical population included 10,000 Persian Wikipedia Pages (PWPs) that were analyzed in two rounds with a six-month interval.

Findings

The number of pages containing the Persian references section was 3,994 and 4,063 out of the 10,000 pages extracted in the first and second rounds. The ratio of pages that cited scientific sources (58 and 67 pages) to the pages extracted from the PWP was equal to 0.58 and 0.67%. The ratio of pages that cited scientific sources to pages with Persian references in each round was equal to 1.45 and 1.64%. The number of references extracted from the PWP in each round equaled 30,441 and 35,891. Eight titles from reputable Persian journals had received at least three citations from Wikipedia.

Originality/value

The present study has determined the extent of interaction between science and society (knowledge flow) in the form of citations from Wikipedia articles to articles in peer-reviewed journals. The study of this issue in Persian Wikipedia in more than 2000 Persian peer-reviewed journals shows the originality of the present paper. Studying citation reliability in a collaborative and openly editable platform is another originality of the work.

分析波斯语维基百科的引文以发现波斯语科学论文的有效性：应用网络挖掘技术

目的

本研究的主要目的是通过研究维基百科对波斯语科学论文（PSP）的引用来评估波斯语维基百科的影响。

设计/方法论/途径

本研究属于应用研究，通过网络挖掘方法进行，如下载网页、提取信息（参考文献）、识别论文、检测同行评审期刊和计算频率。统计群体包括 10,000 个波斯语维基百科页面 (PWP)，分两轮进行分析，间隔六个月。

发现

在第一轮和第二轮提取的 10,000 页中，包含波斯语参考文献部分的页数分别为 3,994 和 4,063 页。引用科学来源的页​​面（58 和 67 页）与从 PWP 中提取的页面的比例分别为 0.58 和 0.67%。每轮引用科学文献的页面与波斯文参考文献的页面比例分别为 1.45% 和 1.64%。每轮从 PWP 中提取的参考文献数量分别为 30,441 和 35,891。知名波斯期刊的八个标题至少被维基百科引用了 3 次。

原创性/价值

本研究以维基百科文章到同行评审期刊文章的引用形式确定了科学与社会（知识流）之间互动的程度。波斯语维基百科在 2000 多种波斯语同行评审期刊中对这一问题的研究表明了本文的原创性。在协作和开放可编辑的平台中研究引文可靠性是这项工作的另一个创意。
