Thanks.
If you're on Twitter, I recommend you follow the #altmetrics feed where
many of these issues are being actively discussed (including Wikipedia's
citations/reuse of the literature).
NISO's Recommended Practice on Altmetrics Data Quality might also be of
interest:

Hi Dario,
Since the document specifies "Reproduction is authorised provided the
source is acknowledged," I put it here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B73LgocyHQnfam51TnN3dlVqaVE/view
It has only two explicit mentions of Wikipedia, in the discussion of
ImpactStory on pp. 58-9, but this document is the only official
government (European Commission) discussion of altmetrics for formal
academic reputation assessment I have been able to find anywhere. You
will probably find the discussion in the Forward and Introduction more
pertinent than the in-passing mentions of Wikipedia, and I suggest
reaching out to the authors in person for their recommended official
contacts at the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies and
their government supporters could be even more productive. There seems
to be a real opening to give academia and society a great gift implied
by the other three references, if they can accept it. Thank you so
much for your interest!
Best regards,
Jim

can I read this somewhere else (or do you have

Thanks,
