Scientific paper

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