Reuse indicators for KB images in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, the 2023 update
Description
A year ago I wrote an extensive article about three related indicators that showed the reuse and public reach of KB collection images via Wikipedia in a historical perspective (2013-2022). This article showed that Wikipedia is a very effective way to make images from KB's (heritage) collections visible all over the world. It also showed that over the years our collection images have gained steadily growing global audiences. (KB= national library of the Netherlands)
At the beginning of January 2024, I measured these three indicators again, this time covering the year 2023. These are:
- KPI 2: The number of KB collection images on Wikimedia Commons (measurement dd 10-01-2024)
- KPI 4: The number of unique Wikipedia articles using those images (measurement dd 10-01-2024)
- KPI 8: The number of requests for those Wikipedia articles per month (measurement dd 10-01-2024)
In this article I share the results and insights from these measurements.
