Professora Iara Camargo

"I got very excited about the idea of writing articles with my students on Wikipedia," she says. "I think most academics have a little prejudice about Wikipedia, saying that some information could be not quite real. But I've always used Wikipedia as a starting point to research a subject. The idea is not to use it as a reference, only to have some idea about the subject. Then, when I started to look at it more critically, I found many good articles in my research field… and of course some poor ones."
