Virtus Scholar Platform monthly statistics

The editorial team of Virtus Interpress is delighted to present the report on the main indicators of our Virtus Scholar Statistics Platform. This platform provides the key statistical data of the papers published in our journals. We consider that the researches are to be shared them freely in the scholarly sphere. It is an important factor for our authors with regard to the paper’s citation, views and readability, etc. Also, this will enable the theoretical results to be practically applied in corporate governance. Our Platform Statistics is a part of our open access policy.

We introduce the results of our analysis concerning the views and downloads of the papers published in our journals in the previous month. The statistics is divided into 2 parts: Article Views Statistics (views data counts starting from March 2017) and Geographical Statistics (downloads data counts starting from August 2018).

  • the last month – 34980;
  • the last year – 305706;
  • all the time – 1117406.

As a result of the calculations, the number of views per 1 paper is:

  • the last month – 9.0;
  • the last year – 78.4;
  • all the time – 286.7.

Thus, the total journal views rose by 37.63% for the last month, by 13.08% for the last year and by 3.27% for all the time compared to the month before. This indicates that the total views of the papers published in our journals are steadily increasing.
