Hi Dario,
Since the document specifies "Reproduction is authorised provided the source is acknowledged," I put it here:

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

James – I'm interested in reading [1] but the PDF is behind a login screen, can I read this somewhere else (or do you have the full reference so I can search it)?
Thanks, Dario

Can anyone familiar with European Commission procedure please explain how to support the Wikipedia-associated proposals in [1] based on the statistics in [2] please? Very recent publications such as [3] in Nature along with what appears to be a relatively sudden groundswell of frankness and support e.g. [4] suggests to me that the time is right to get out in front of these proposals.
