3 Dec 2002 | Journal: | Complex Syst. 14 (2003) 269-274 | Subject: | Disordered Systems and Neural Networks; Statistical Mechanics; Physics and Society | cond-mat.dis-nn cond-mat.stat-mech physics.soc-ph | Affiliation: | UCLA | Abstract: | We 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. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0212043 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
