Reagle was a member of theWorld Wide Web Consortiumfrom 1996 to 2003.[5]There he worked on issues such as intellectual property and privacy.[5][10]

In 2002, he was listed as one ofMIT Technology Review'sTR35,a list of the world's top innovators under the age of 35.[2]

In 2010, he reconstructed the first ten thousand contributions to Wikipedia from a previously lost data dump as a simple website.[11][12]

In 2011, Reagle published a journal article with Lauren Rhue that examinedgender bias in Wikipedia,usinggendered pronounsto detect articles about women and comparing and contrasting their findings against female coverage in other encyclopedias.[13][14]The article concluded "that Wikipedia provides better coverage and longer articles, that Wikipedia typically has more articles on women than Britannica in absolute terms, but Wikipedia articles on women are more likely to be missing than articles on men relative to Britannica".[14]

Reagle is a supporter ofopen access[15]and all of his books are available online.[16]
