Dix ans après son lancement, l’encyclopédie en ligne collaborative Wikipedia a-t-elle un impact sur la recherche académique ? Malgré les controverses dont elle fait l’objet, il semble que l’utilisation par la communauté scientifique soit en pleine expansion et cet article propose de le tester. L’auteur a réuni un corpus de publications à partir de Scopus et du Web of Science et a sondé la visibilité de l’encyclopédie.
