Can I use Wikipedia for my research?

Answer

Wikipedia can be a good starting point to:

  • Get background information
  • Identify keywords
  • Find sources listed in the references section

However, it is not usually considered a reliable source for academic papers. Instead, use it to locate and follow citations to scholarly sources.
