Are updates working?

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Lately we got around to do some analysis of requests for single publications over time (see article history). While once more we had to realize that web statistics are simply not a good measure of usage, some assumptions could still be corroborated.

Looking at the graph (user: webstats, password: HaveaLook) for the topic Characteristic Evolution and Matching, you can see that the latest update was received well; and effected a drop in the requests for the updated publications.

Living Reviews in Relativity in SPIRES

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

SPIRES-HEP, run by the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), has included 15 Living Reviews in Relativity articles in its Guide to Review Literature in High-Energy Physics. The guide indexes by topic “review papers that have a significant number of citations in the SPIRES-HEP database”.

Moreover, four reviews published in LRR have made it to The 50 most highly cited papers of All Time (2006 edition) in the gr-qc archive.

Another nice confirmation of the journal’s success!
