On this topic, will Wikipedia ever implement a 'citation tool'? I'm

thinking something like Mendeley or EndNote for wiki text? It would be

great to have citations more formally implemented within MW (via an

extension).

Cheers,

Dan.

Hi all,

Has there been any research done into: the number of citations (e.g.

to books, journal articles, online sources, everything together) on

Wikipedia (any language, or all)? The distribution of citations over

different kinds or qualities of articles? # of uses of citation

templates? Anything like this?

I realize this is hard to count, averages are meaningless in this

context, and any number will no doubt be imprecise! But anything would

be helpful. I have vague memories of seeing some citation studies like

this but don't remember the details.

Thanks,
