Digging into the metrics in DOAJ’s Google Analytics can be fun and enlightening. (And a total sink hole of my time.)
Here are the Top 10 most accessed articles in DOAJ so far this year. An interesting and somewhat curious collection largely driven, I suspect, by academic reading lists in schools, colleges and universities.
The article in Number 1 position is also the most accessed article for the whole of 2018. Accesses came from Indonesia, China, India, USA, Nigeria, Argentina, Canada, Iran, Mexico and Norway

I think it’s quite surprising, given some of them don’t currently even register on a generalist search engine no matter how deep I dig. The first of the list does appear on top of DuckDuckGo (and Google in Finland):

How (and where) were you searching? I found search results for all of them. Dom
