Wikipedia y los centros educativos de enseñanza superior de Portugal

Since its founding, Wikipedia has been one of the most visited resources in the world, and has been analyzed both as a communicative and educational tool. This research focuses on studying its content in reference to higher educational centers in Portugal. It also seeks to analyze the languages that best represent these educational centers on Wikipedia and check whether the discourse of their articles has been created thanks to collaborative and free work. To do this, a classification was created with all the higher institutions, Wikidata was searched to see if they had an element and the Wikipedia languages in which they were present. This data was saved and a bot was programmed to collect the visits they received, their size, the number of sources on which they are based, the edits that have been recorded in them and by whom they have been made. 102 higher institutions were found, of which 81 were present on Wikidata. Of these, 60 had an article on Wikipedia in any of the active languages of the encyclopedia, with the Portuguese version having the highest number of articles created with 56. The universities of Coimbra, Lisbon and Porto were the most important, showing that The discourse of its articles is the result of the collaborative work of many editors. The rest of the higher institutions showed very diverse data, sometimes with content from accounts for particular purposes, especially in certain private institutions. Therefore, it can be concluded that the content of Wikipedia articles is very varied, depending on the importance of the institutions and the particular interest of the community editors. In general, the most prestigious institutions are more closely monitored, have more editors in charge, and their discourse is more varied than that of smaller centers.
