Thanks, Eric,
Sounds like, as an old friend used to say, “It’s a throw-up.” Nick Nicholas S. Thompson Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Biology Clark University <http://home.earthlink.net/~nickthompson/naturaldesigns/> http://home.earthlink.net/~nickthompson/naturaldesigns/ From: Friam [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Charles Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2017 7:26 AM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Academia.edu I have been on both Research Gate and Academia for some time. I am not particularly active in either (except for an occasional foray into an R.G. forum). However, it seems evident that my uploaded works receive a wider readership. Proprietary search engines (JSTOR, etc.) are on the outs, and papers easily accessed via Google search and the like are much more likely to be read and cited. Google Scholar searches R.G. and Academia and will pop up a PDF link right next to the search results. This is particularly obvious with regards to the professional book reviews I write every year or two. Because the venues for the reviews aren't easy for most to access, I doubt I get more than a handful of readers there. However, because I tend to give the flashy titles, a few have several hundred reads through the websites. That (I hope) helps the authors of the reviewed books more than it helps me, but it speaks strongly to the increased attention it is possible to get for work by virtue of posting on those sites. This has been much, much more effective than posting to a personal website, and takes less upkeep for steady traffic than my academic blog. If I was in a field that used ArXiv, and didn't secretly like the idea of lay people and students sometimes reading my work, I wouldn't be on either. But psychology doesn't do ArXiv, and I do secretly like those ideas. Our article on MOTH has 62 reads through Research Gate and 4 through Academia (via my upload). Probably it has more reads through JASSS. In contrast, I have an encyclopedia entry about the history of Clark University's psychology department that has 355 reads on Research Gate and 22 through Academia. That is probably far more than have read the work via its published source. My most read article on Academia is a statistical simulation I published during my grad school days, which has over 1,000 reads. Aside from indicating I made a poor career choices by sticking with my love of experimental psychology, that suggest the potential audience, even for highly technical papers, is quite large.

Tax 5% across the board and it would be nearly $130 million (given the 2015 data). Throw in some property tax for the richer folks, maybe could haul in $150 or $200 million a year.
