Quantifying the Relationship Between Hit Count Estimates and Wikipedia Article Traffic - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2015, written by Tina Tian and Ankur Agrawal.

Overview

This paper analyzes the relationship between search engine hit counts and Wikipedia article views by evaluating the cross correlation between them. Authors observe the hit count estimates of three popular search engines over a month and compare them with the Wikipedia page views. The strongest cross correlations are recorded with their delays in days. Authors present the results in both graphs and quantitative data among different search engines. Authors also investigate the predicting trends between the hit counts and Wikipedia article traffic.
