<p class="MsoNormal"><b>SUNScholar Usage Statistics<br>
<br>
</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our aim with <a href="http://scholar.sun.ac.za/">SUNScholar</a> is to make SU research as highly visible possible, so that in the end the increase in citations will impact on your personal ranking, the ranking of the journal you publish
with, as well as the university’s ranking. In addition to viewing the statistics for individual articles/theses/dissertations on
<a href="http://scholar.sun.ac.za/">SUNScholar</a>, we also use <a href="http://piwik.sun.ac.za/">
Piwik</a> (SU IT supported statistical tool) to monitor usage. <a href="http://scholar.sun.ac.za/">
SUNScholar</a> will be turning 5 years old this year, and we would like to share the following usage statistics with you:</p>
