Mission: Citation equity & justice
In the CCCC Position Statement on Citation Justice in Rhetoric, Composition, and Writing Studies, writing scholars are called to recognize that “citation is not only a way we build ethos and credibility for making arguments, but perhaps more importantly, a decision to amplify some voices over others, and an argument about whose voices and perspectives are valid, credible, and worth drawing from as we build knowledge in the discipline.” As a highly viewed, global, open-access, digital encyclopedia, Wikipedia stands out as one of the most vital platforms scholars can edit to support citation justice, especially for academics committed to knowledge equity as a fundamental groundwork for social justice.

When writing in citations and content that represent the diversity of fields and subfields in writing studies, we encourage scholars to practice the following heuristic put forth by the CCCC Position Statement on Citation Justice in Rhetoric, Composition, and Writing Studies:


 * Citation justice is intersectional.
 * Citation justice reflects the full scope of multiply marginalized people’s intellectual contributions.
 * Citation justice resists and rejects intellectual empire building.
 * Citation justice is accountable.
