Professional Reading: Measuring Total Reading of Journal Articles
In the October 2006 issue of D-Lib Magazine, Donald W. King, Carol Tenopir and Michael Clarke report on a survey they conducted utilizing "a little used but powerful method of observing reading by scientists. This method is designed to measure the amount of reading of specific journal articles and entire journals to complement exclusive observations of electronic journal hits and downloads, transaction logs, limited counts of citations to journals or articles and rough estimates of total amount of reading by professionals compared with total number of articles published."
