Wikipedia:External peer review

External peer review is a Wikipedia project namespace list of reviews of the accuracy of Wikipedia articles and other Wikipedia content posted by newspapers, magazines, and other agencies outside of Wikipedia. Peer reviews are different from general articles about Wikipedia because they give a critique of one or more articles specifically, often noting problems or highlighting their good qualities.

This list aims to be both a record of the findings of these reviews and a way to highlight any problems (or indeed positive aspects) that were encountered. Although Wikipedia has its own article peer review process, reviews from respected publications are more than welcome and can help to improve Wikipedia's articles. In most cases Wikipedia will also see an increase in traffic to the articles mentioned, which means that those with poor reviews should be improved to as high a standard as is possible.

Articles that have undergone an external peer review are tagged with external peer review on their talk page. Articles that have undergone an external peer review and publication in scholarly journals are tagged with academic peer reviewed.

Academic
Academic peer reviews are those performed by independent experts in a topic, sometimes with resulting corrected articles published in scholarly journals.

Assessments of individual articles
Mechanisms for peer review of individual articles are summarised at WP:W2J.

Assessments of multiple articles
Many academic studies have attempted to assess the overall accuracy of topics in Wikipedia (especially medical topics).
