Wikipedia is the one of the first open access resources on the internet that many people consult for information on a topic. Because of this, our research community has an important interest in ensuring that Wikipedia has accurate, comprehensive coverage of content that links to freely available open access research literature.

• Detailed guidance for creating and editing Wikipedia entries in your area of research
• Suggestions for improving relevant articles
• Learning how to edit Wikipedia for beginners
• Using Open Access repositories and directories to discover articles to add to Wikipedia
• Wikipedia in the academic context
