Viewed | Each entry in the Repository has a record, or 'homepage'. The page has a unique URL, and every time this URL is resolved (i.e. requested/viewed by a web browser), the views total climbs. |
Downloaded | Each record contains a link to the full-text of the research, and every time the link is clicked, we count an extra download for the paper. |
Downloads/View | This count is a ratio of the number of times the full-text of the research has been requested, relative to the number of page views. This is significant in some cases because it suggests that people have been interested enough in the research to download the entire paper. However, the ratio can be misleading, as some search tools - notably Google Scholar and SCOPUS - only index the full text of the document, and hence ,many people will go directly to the full-text of the document, bypassing the record itself. We find this is particularly apparent with may papers from the Colleges of Engineering and Science. |
