[edit]This biography now includes a rich list of academic citations and independent references that support the text. 80.187.107.32 (talk) 18:19, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
- I've looked at a few of the references and am not sure they are of good quality and support the text adequately. Looking at the section "Research and Recognition":
- I am not sure that the International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research is reputable. Its publisher, Sky Journals, is on Beall's List of predatory journals. In any case, the article says nothing about Montgomery, just includes his book in a list of references.
- The url in the reference to work by Dr. Claudia Benassini is to a different paper in a different journal, which just uses his book as one of several references to the statement
various academic materials are now available on the practice of MOJO
. - The reference linked in the statement starting
A University of Bergen report
is a WP:THESIS and doesn't mention Montgomery. - The url in the reference supporting the statement starting
Stephen Quinn and Oscar Westlund
is to a paper not by those authors, which uses Montgomery's book to reference the statementmojo practices are closely entangled with social media platforms and are open for new formats and ways of storytelling
. This does not support the statement in the Wiki article that Quinn and Westlundcite Montgomery’s pioneering work in developing mobile journalism curricula and global training initiatives, emphasizing his role in redefining journalistic roles and newsroom culture
.
- Those were the only four refs I looked at, and none support what the article says, and in three of the four the URLs do not link to the paper or book given in the reference. There are also a lot of primary sources. I will tag the article with potentially unreliable refs. Happy to discuss here. Tacyarg (talk) 00:21, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
