description It has been suggested that the “visibility” of an article influences its citation count. More specifically, it is believed that the social media can influence article citations.Here we tested the hypothesis that inclusion of scholarly references in Wikipedia affects the citation trends.

We show that although citation counts generally increase during time, the citation “propensity” does not increase after inclusion of a reference in Wikipedia.
