Abstract

This paper presents the conclusions of an investigation into the Wikipedia entries of the twenty-five most relevant Ibero-American universities. The ranking of higher education institutions is based on the Shanghai, URAP and other barometers. In each of the entries of the universities studied in the online encyclopedia, all the existing language versions have been revised. The three most relevant language versions (75 articles in total) have been reviewed in depth. The 500 most active editors on these higher education texts have also been monitored. The main objective of the research is to check whether there is an open community and activity that reflects on higher education centers in the Ibero- American sphere. And if this construction implies a full discourse of open authority (Open Authority), as established by Lori Byrd Phillips (2013). In other words, if a rigorous and impartial narration of the universities is created. Our results show an enormous and broad activity. All Ibero-American universities have Wikipedia entries in more than a dozen languages. And the widest articles exceed more than a thousand contributions. The monitoring of this activity reveals how the editors and monitors have favored the creation of a space for knowledge and exchange about universities in the environment of the Portuguese and Spanish languages. This paper concludes that there is an open authority on higher education spaces in Ibero-America in the online encyclopedia. The entries on the twentyfive universities studied and the 500 editors monitored revealed that there is a rigorous and wide -although uneven- activity on the universities in Wikipedia.
