One part of the Wikipedia editorial process is identifying high quality publications and recommending them for inclusion into relevant Wikipedia articles. The general name for this is "research discovery", which is the identification of existing research to improve writing. In 2018-19 there have been technological, content, and social changes in the Wikimedia platform which promise to change the way that Wikipedia editors find research. Furthermore, the improvements in source discovery which would benefit Wikipedia are applicable to anyone's research process. Using medical literature as an example, this presentation will review the current state of practice, then profile new developments in from a machine learning pilot with Cochrane, the WikiCite project, and the Scholia interface.
