SCROLL Feature
Thesis Access Analytics
See how your thesis is being accessed over time. Track views, trends, and interest from different departments or campuses to understand your research impact.
Understand Your Research Reach
Each time a thesis is viewed in SCROLL, the system records a view count. Over time, these counts can show which topics are frequently accessed and when interest is increasing (for example, near defense seasons).
- Total number of views for your thesis.
- Trends in access over months or semesters.
- Most-viewed theses in a particular department or subject area.
