Hi all,<br>
<br>
Has there been any research done into: the number of citations (e.g.<br>
to books, journal articles, online sources, everything together) on<br>
Wikipedia (any language, or all)? The distribution of citations over<br>
different kinds or qualities of articles? # of uses of citation<br>
templates? Anything like this?<br>
<br>
I realize this is hard to count, averages are meaningless in this<br>
context, and any number will no doubt be imprecise! But anything would<br>
be helpful. I have vague memories of seeing some citation studies like<br>
this but don&#39;t remember the details.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
