How are reads for a paper calculated?
For each paper, a “read” is counted if an ADS user runs a search in our system and then requests to either view the paper’s full bibliographic record or download the fulltext. To see the readership history for a paper, click on the “Reads History” link at the top of its full bibliographic record display page. Please note that in computing readership numbers we attempt to remove log entries generated by robots, users coming to an ADS record from an external search engine, and multiple clicks from the same user. Given the uncertainties, biases, and potential for abuse involved in collecting usage data, we discourage using our readership counts as a measure of a paper’s scientific value. One useful ADS feature that readership data makes possible is the creation, for each article, of its list of “Also Read” papers. This is the list of papers that have been read, in the last 90 days, by those users who read that particular paper, ranked by reads. The list therefore offers an additional way
