(i) Google Trends (gives relative Google search frequencies):
For example a comparison of the Google search frequencies for “all regions” and “all years”
indicates that Google search frequencies for:
a. Citizendium exceed those for Scholarpedia, by a factor greater than 100 in Austria,
Switzerland, Belgium, Australia, France and the Netherlands: by about 5 in Canada, Italy,
and Spain; and by about 2.5 in the UK;
b. Wikipedia exceed those for Citizendium by a factor greater than 100 for the countries
specified in “a”;
c. Wikipedia exceed those for Scholarpedia by a factor greater than 100 for the countries
specified in “a”;
d. Wikipedia exceed those for Enclopedia Britannica by a factor greater than 100 for the
countries specified in “a”.
In all the above, the factors were read from the bar graphs in the lower part of the
page.
