Report from Academia.edu • I’m Back! • Mar 22, 2023

Here’s the stats from 7:30 this morning:

I’m definitely down from the peak of March 13, but I seem to be running a bit higher than things were in February. Can I keep it up? Who knows.

But here’s the big news:

I’m now in the 99.9th percentile (top 0.1%) of Academia users. I had been running at the 99.5th percentile (top 0.5%). When you consider the nature of this distribution, that’s a significant jump.

Last March is the first time I got this high in the rankings, and that was an unexplained fluke. I had 875 views on March 28. I have no idea what caused that, but I was unable to sustain it. Perhaps things will go better this time. We’ll see.
