How WikiRank works

1. News article: The user provides a news article for WikiRank to analyse.
2. Topic: WikiRank performs a keyword extraction to define the topics of the article.
3. Wikidata: WikiRank links the Wikidata item to the extracted topic.
4. Wikidata statements: WikiRank uses Wikidata statements (e.g instance of and occupation to understand the context of the topic to form a 'topic domain'
5. Wikipedia references: WikiRank counts the number of citations from each news source in Wikipedia articles in the ‘topic domain’ to find the most used reference sources for that topic.
