I got this email a while back:<\/p>\n

Dear William<\/em><\/p>\n

Congratulations again on publishing your article, 25 Years on: Looking back at Environmental Education Research<\/a>, in Environmental Education Research,\u00a0earlier this\u00a0year. It is an accomplishment to be a published author, take a moment to discover the impact your research has had so far. \u00a0Since it was first published, your article has already received 982 views.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gosh, I thought: \"982 views\". \u00a0But is that a lot, I wondered? \u00a0Well, either way, it's now 1,129 views.<\/p>\n

There are no citations, though and only 4 Altmetrics \u2013 which I'd never heard of until now \u2013 and 12 readers on Mendeley \u2013 which I'd also never heard of. \u00a0I live such a sheltered life, but then, I don't have to live by citations.<\/p>\n

Of course, 1129 views is not a lot, but it is early days I whisper to myself. \u00a0The best I ever managed in EER was 3355 views and 74 citations (a report on an ESRC project with co-authors), and quite a few papers never got anywhere near those numbers (I once managed 78 citations). \u00a0But as I said, I don't live by citations. \u00a0Just as well, you might think.<\/p>\n

And just for comparison, the well-received Mind the Gap<\/span><\/em> paper by Kollmuss and Agyeman (2010) has had 129,618 views and 3230 citations (so far!). \u00a0I'm consoling myself that, as editor at the time, I did contribute a little to the final form of that piece of work. \u00a0A bit of reflected glory then.<\/p>\n
