Abstract

We report a method of estimating what percentage of people who cited a paperhad actually read it. The method is based on a stochastic modeling of thecitation process that explains empirical studies of misprint distributions incitations (which we show follows a Zipf law). Our estimate is only about 20% ofciters read the original.
