Nature Cooked Wikipedia Study
Remember the Wikipedia and Britannica comparison Nature published a few months ago? According to The Register, Nature might have cooked the study to favour Wikipedia:
But Nature sent only misleading fragments of some Britannica articles to the reviewers, sent extracts of the children’s version and Britannica’s “book of the year” to others, and in one case, simply stitched together bits from different articles and inserted its own material, passing it off as a single Britannica entry.
Nice “Mash-Up” – but bad science.
