Author Leaderboard – Last Year

This author leaderboard is based on the number of page views an author received on average on all articles that have been published last year.

Authors who have published less than 6 articles in this year are ranked below the other authors even if their average is higher. The reason is that an average is only a reliable benchmark if it is based on a certain number of samples.

Authors can view the corresponding articles with their page views here.

The author leaderboard of the current year can be found here.
