Readership analysis of impact storylines from University based research

By 2025, every smallest personal items to the largest continents, everything, and everywhere will be digitally connected, and responsive to people’s wants and likes. Universities have no choice but to increase the use and availability of knowledge and information digitally. This study has shown that there has been growth in the volume of resources on the RUFORUM repository with 32.6% growth in the number of users and access. The use of social media has further increased the rate and number of visitors to the website ad repository. The growth in traffic has been coming from mainly the three continents; Africa, Europe and North America pooled together by a common use of English as the central communication language. It is therefore important that RUFORUM continues to use its various convening events and network members as conduits to draw traffic towards the website, repository and social media accounts. This will increase the visibility of various documents and increase the level of reference to RUFORUM on-line resources.
