[visionlist] News from the Journal of Vision: Download Reports Updated

[Journal of Vision]

At the Journal of Vision, we provide a service called Download Reports that describes the total number of unique downloads for each published article. The reports also provide a statistic - the DemandFactor - that estimates demand for an article independent of its age. And the reports provide a graph of the cumulative unique downloads as a function of days since publication. The statistics and graph are located in the new Download section of each article home page, and are also at the Download Reports page at

http://journalofvision.org/info/downloadreports.aspx

We also provide tables of the top 20 articles in terms of total downloads and DemandFactor.

A more extensive discussion of these reports is provided in a brief editorial at

http://journalofvision.org/7/7/i.

Download reports are updated periodically, and the most recent report is now available dated 4/22/08.

We hope that authors and readers will find these reports useful.
