Last October Melissa Terras uploaded her 26 articles to University College London's Open Access Repository - "Discovery". In addition, she wrote a blog post about each research project and tweeted the papers available for download. This post examines the question: was it worth the effort? Short answer: yes. "People read the blog posts - I have about 2000 visitors here a month, 70% new, with an average time on the site of 1 minute and 5 seconds. You come here and tend to read what I have written (thanks!) and seem to be clicking and downloading my research papers... 27 out of the top 50 downloads in our department in the last calendar year feature me (as a rough guide, I get about 1/3 of the entire downloads for my department)."
