About this data

Usage data should be viewed in relation to:

  • the publication date (older articles will generally have higher usage).
  • the relevance of the article to a broad community (some articles will be extremely important but to smaller sections of the research community), and
  • the availability and usage of the article through other sources

Article usage data is not a precise measure of an individual article's importance and should only be considered alongside other measures of visibility/importance.
