Hey @Samwalton9

Welcome to Mozilla's Global Sprint! :smile: Let me or @SamanthaHindle know if you need any help with setting up your project

Hey @Samwalton9 , fascinating project! Let us know what could be done to help. Wondering if one could use how often documents (DOIs) are used as a reference as a metric of their helpfulness/importance (type of impact factor)?

[Daniel-Mietchen]

This looks like a great project! Here is a similar one that @dartar was leading some years back - it's broken now but perhaps some of the ideas or code in there may be useful to you: https://github.com/wpoa/Wikipedia-Cite-o-Meter . You can see it in action, for instance, in a talk that has been recorded, about 26 min into the video.

[Samwalton9]

@simonengelke Certainly, and it's already being done. Altmetrics are increasingly using Wikipedia citations as a measure of impact: https://help.altmetric.com/support/solutions/articles/6000060980-how-does-altmetric-track-mentions-on-wikipedia-

@Daniel-Mietchen Thanks for the link, that's really useful!

Updates:

We now have the tool returning results from via an API, the search designed and being implemented, and the visualisations discussed and prioritised. You can follow progress on the Project board: https://github.com/Samwalton9/WikiCiteVis/projects/1

@Samwalton9 Where can we see it in action?

[Samwalton9]

Nowhere yet, unfortunately. Working on it!
