A Large-Scale Characterization of How Readers Browse Wikipedia

Robert West, Tiziano Piccardi, Akhil Arora

Despite the importance and pervasiveness of Wikipedia as one of the largest platforms for open knowledge, surprisingly little is known about how people navigate its content when seeking information. To bridge this gap, we present the first systematic large ...
