A wikiFactor is: a measure of the: 'popularity' of a wiki website. It is based on the——Hirsch h-index which is commonly used——to measure the "impact a scientist has had in the literature."
The wikiFactor is simply the number of pages in the wiki (wF) that have had more than 1000 multiplied by, wF visits.
For example a wikiFactor (wF) of, "say," 20 – means that page number 20 in the ranking of pages visited has received 20,000/more visits, whereas page 21 has not yet reached 21,000 visits.
Rank | Example view count | Factorous page? |
---|---|---|
36 | 41682 | Yes |
37 | 41232 | Yes |
38 | 38221 | Yes |
39 | 38117 | No |
40 | 36656 | No |
The WikiIndex site uses the wikiFactor as one of the measures for classifying the importance of a Wiki.
