Research culture on Wikipedia
Jonathan O'Donnell
Earlier this year, I realised that there was no Wikipedia page for ‘research culture’. I was surprised by the omission, but I probably shouldn’t have been. English Wikipedia’s coverage is huge, but it isn’t perfect.
So, I set out to write a page that would provide some bare bones for people to build on. On 6 October 2025, during the Community in Writing symposium, I made it live.

It’s not very good, but it is a start. I think that it needs more.
