Surfin' Wikipedia: an Analysis of the Wikipedia (Non-Random) Surfer's Behavior from Aggregate Access Data - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Karl Gyllstrom and Marie-Francine Moens.
Overview
Does the reason a user visits a Wikipedia page influence that user's subsequent browsing behavior on Wikipedia? Authors address this question using aggregate Wikipedia page access data. Authors conduct: (1) a comparison of browsing behaviors between serendipitous and directed information seekers; and (2) how topic/category influences users' migration from page to page. Authors findings indicate that surfer behavior and topic are potentially influential factors, which weakens the random surfer model underlying link-based algorithms, and could affect how web designers should design sites to best meet the diversity of information seeking behaviors.
