Use:

• 50k visits to total-impact.org, 30k unique visitors
• at least 100 scholars embedding or linking to TI reports on their CV
• at least 25 TI reports included in annual review or tenure & promotion packages
• 15 publishers/repositories embedding total-impact data on articles/datasets
• 5 in-process or published research studies based on TI data

We are so excited!  Thanks to Josh Greenberg, program director.  You won’t regret it :)
