Wikiometrics: a Wikipedia based Ranking System - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2017, written by Gilad Katz and Lior Rokach.

Overview

Authors present a new concept—Wikiometrics—the derivation of metrics and indicators from Wikipedia. Wikipedia provides an accurate representation of the real world due to its size, structure, editing policy and popularity. Authors demonstrate an innovative “mining” methodology, where different elements of Wikipedia – content, structure, editorial actions and reader reviews – are used to rank items in a manner which is by no means inferior to rankings produced by experts or other methods. Authors test proposed method by applying it to two real-world ranking problems: top world universities and academic journals. Authors proposed ranking methods were compared to leading and widely accepted benchmarks, and were found to be extremely correlative but with the advantage of the data being publically available.
