对比55种语言维基百科在不同主题上的引用与质量差异。
Utilizing citation index and synthetic quality measure to compare Wikipedia languages across various topics
- 用跨语言链接构建引用指数，处理66亿条页面链接。
- 选取各语言中引用最高的10/25/100篇文章进行质量比较。
- 跨语言统一质量评分，揭示内容覆盖与质量差距。
本研究对55种语言的维基百科进行了对比分析，结合引用指数与综合质量评分。具体而言，我们在每个主题和语言版本中筛选出引用最多的前10、前25及前100篇文章，该指数基于各语言版本间文章的维基链接构建，共处理66亿条页面间链接记录。同时，采用0到100的合成质量评分体系对每篇文章进行评估，实现不同语言版本间质量的可比性。结果揭示了维基百科各语言版本在内容覆盖与质量上的显著差异，展现出不同主题下的优势与短板。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study presents a comparative analysis of 55 Wikipedia language editions employing a citation index alongside a synthetic quality measure. Specifically, we identified the most significant Wikipedia articles within distinct topical areas, selecting the top 10, top 25, and top 100 most cited articles in each topic and language version. This index was built on the basis of wikilinks between Wikipedia articles in each language version and in order to do that we processed 6.6 billion page-to-page link records. Next, we used a quality score for each Wikipedia article - a synthetic measure scaled from 0 to 100. This approach enabled quality comparison of Wikipedia articles even between language versions with different quality grading schemes. Our results highlight disparities among Wikipedia language editions, revealing strengths and gaps in content coverage and quality across topics.
