Thanks Deborah. That all makes sense. I see the difference between vows and
actual reads (It seems to me that ResearchGate does not have the best
terminology - better if 'reads' were called views or hits, and actual text
reads called reads. But no worries. Intriguing though that a very
specialized and obscure topic could attract so many views.
Cheers, John
