چکیده

هدف: بررسی ارتباط میان کیفیت مقالات حوزه علم اطلاعات در ویکی‌پدیای انگلیسی با رتبه بازیابی‌شان در موتورهای جستجوی گوگل، یاهو، و بینگ.
روش‌شناسی: با روش پیمایشی-توصیفی و براساس چهارچوب شناسایی‌شده، ابعاد کیفیت شامل اعتبار، کامل‌بودن، پیچیدگی، آگاهی‌بخشی، ثبات، روزآمدی، و فراریت برای هر مقاله محاسبه شده‌ است.
یافته‌ها: مقالات بررسی‌شده در ابعاد پیچیدگی و فراریت نسبتاً مطلوب ارزیابی شدند؛ اما در ابعاد کامل‌بودن، روزآمدی، و آگاهی‌بخشی وضعیت مناسبی نداشتند. بینگ به‌لحاظ صوری، رتبه نخست بیشترین تعداد نمایش مقالات ویکی‌پدیا را داشت؛ اما در رتبه بازیابی مقالات میان موتورهای جستجو تفاوت معناداری وجود نداشت. به‌استثنای شاخص روزآمدی، میان سایر ابعاد کیفیت اطلاعات با رتبه بازیابی مقاله ارتباط معناداری دیده نشد.
نتیجه‌گیری: ویکی‌نویسان باید با رعایت اصول لازم در نگارش آثار خود در بهبود مؤلفه‌های کامل‌بودن، روزآمدی، و آگاهی‌بخشی تلاش کنند. مسائل تجاری پشت پرده سامانه‌های بازیابی اطلاعات که انتشار الگوریتم رتبه‌بندی آنها را با محدودیت روبه‌رو می‌کند، می‌تواند توجیهی برای نبود رابطه میان برخی ابعاد کیفیت اطلاعات مقالات با رتبه بازیابی آنها باشد.

چکیده [English]

Purpose: Investigating the Information Quality dimensions of Information Science articles in English Wikipedia and exploring the relationship between ranking of the Wikipedia articles in search engines and the quality of the articles.
Methodology: Using a descriptive- survey method and based on the identified framework, different indices related to the quality dimensions including credibility, completeness, complexity, awareness, stability, timeliness, and volatility are computed for the selected sample.
Findings: The examined article showed a relatively favorable situation in terms of complexity and volatility but they did not have a very proper situation in terms of completeness, complexity and awareness.
It was shown that although the Bing performed a better job in terms of retrieving Wikipedia articles in the top ten results compared to the other examined search engines
there was no significant difference in the ranking of the articles among the evaluated search engines. There is no significant relation between the rank of a retrieved article in a search engine and the information quality dimensions except for the timeliness.
Conclusion: Wikipedia authors should try to improve the other dimensions of the information quality including completeness, complexity and awareness by enhancing their writing skills. The lack of a relationship between some components of the Information Quality and the rank of Wikipedia articles in the search engines may be related to the financial and commercial actions behind the scene of the information retrieval systems which have restricted them not to reveal their ranking algorithms.
