AbstractWe report a method of estimating what percentage of people who cited a paper had actually read it. The method is based on a stochastic modeling of the citation process that explains empirical studies of misprint distributions in citations (which we show follows a Zipf law). Our estimate is only about 20% of citers read the original.

Review title: How to use misprints!

Comment: This article shows what everyone knows: cited articles are seldom read. The authors shows that 80% of cited articles are not read by the citing authors. This may be an upper bound.
