Virtus Scholar Platform monthly statistics
The editorial team of Virtus Interpress is pleased to present the report on the main indicators of our Virtus Scholar Statistics Platform for September 2021. 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.
