Emma Lurie ’19 presented Investigating the Effects of Google’s Search Engine Result Page in Evaluating the Credibility of Online News Sources, a paper coauthored with Eni Mustafaraj, in May at the ACM WebSci 2018 conference in Amsterdam.

As a result of the discussion of this paper, a challenge to improve Wikipedia was created. Students in the Wellesley Cred Lab, led by Mustafaraj, are preparing Wikipedia edit-a-thons to involve Wellesley students in the challenge, and will be responsible for measuring the page creation and author participation impacts of the full challenge.
