Wikipedia Citation Graph Diameter Change
This page tracks changes in the diameter of Wikipedia's citation graph. The citation graph is a complex network of articles and their citations, and its diameter is a measure of how connected the knowledge in Wikipedia is. We measure the median graph diameter and the average graph diameter change per quarter, providing insights into how knowledge connectivity is evolving over time. The numbers come from a quarterly analysis of Wikipedia's citation data, which is publicly available. This data is interesting because changes in the citation graph diameter can indicate shifts in how knowledge is organized and connected, reflecting broader trends in human understanding and collaboration.
