Wikipedia popularity from a citation analysis point of view

Journal Title: Webology - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 2

Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview of the citation rate of Wikipedia since its launch in 2004. It is worth noting that since its inception Wikipedia, the free international multilingual encyclopedia, has been subject to criticism (Fasoldt, 2004; Orlowski, 2005; Lipczynska, 2005). Wikipedia as a popular web resource appears in response to every keyword search on Google.
