Scientific citations in Wikipedia
The Internet–based encyclopædia Wikipedia has grown to become one of the most visited Web sites on the Internet, but critics have questioned the quality of entries. An empirical study of Wikipedia found errors in a 2005 sample of science entries. Biased coverage and lack of sources are among the “Wikipedia risks.” This paper describes a simple assessment of these aspects by examining the outbound links from Wikipedia articles to articles in scientific journals with a comparison against journal statistics from Journal Citation Reports such as impact factors. The results show an increasing use of structured citation markup and good agreement with citation patterns seen in the scientific literature though with a slight tendency to cite articles in high–impact journals such as Nature and Science. These results increase confidence in Wikipedia as a reliable information resource for science in general. (First Monday, augustus 2007)
Beyond Google: How do students conduct academic research?
This paper reports findings from an exploratory study about how students majoring in humanities and social sciences use the Internet and library resources for research. Using student discussion groups, content analysis, and a student survey, our results suggest students may not be as reliant on public Internet sites as previous research has reported. Instead, students in our study used a hybrid approach for conducting course–related research. A majority of students leveraged both online and offline sources to overcome challenges with finding, selecting, and evaluating resources and gauging professors’ expectations for quality research.

10 Future Web Trends
We're well into the current era of the Web, commonly referred to as Web 2.0. Features of this phase of the Web include search, social networks, online media (music, video, etc), content aggregation and syndication (RSS), mashups (APIs), and much more. Currently the Web is still mostly accessed via a PC, but we're starting to see more Web excitement from mobile devices (e.g. iPhone) and television sets (e.g. XBox Live 360).

Google Custom Search: Setting The Bar For Vertical Search Engines
Google already dominates the web search market, with between approximately 55% and 65% of the market depending on who you ask. The company's flagship product has been responsible for its phenomenal growth and everyone knows that Google made its fortune by tying its genius search algorithm to advertising. It is perhaps less known, however, that the web giant has opened its search engine for use on any web site, by any service. Dubbed Google Custom Search Engine or CSE, the product exposes the API behind the world's most powerful search engine. Why is Google offering this API? How can it be used? And what is the connection to vertical search? We explore the what, how, and why of Google CSE in this post. (Read/Write Web, 6 september 2007)

Web 3.0: When Web Sites Become Web Services
Today's Web has terabytes of information available to humans, but hidden from computers. It is a paradox that information is stuck inside HTML pages, formatted in esoteric ways that are difficult for machines to process. The so called Web 3.0, which is likely to be a pre-cursor of the real semantic web, is going to change this. What we mean by 'Web 3.0' is that major web sites are going to be transformed into web services - and will effectively expose their information to the world. (Read/WriteWeb, 19 maart 2007)
