NS paper’s number of views surpassed the Swedish science advice paper

We are pleased to inform you that our NS paper [1] received 331.3 thousand views at 11:23 AM (Hanoi time) today.

This number of views exceeded the total views of the Swedish science advice paper in HSSComms [2], one of very few extremely well-read published research.

The rationale for this piece is simple. When the NS paper was published a little over 3 months ago, our dream was to receive attention from global audiences. The most striking and extremely well-read one at the time was that 13-month-old Swedish article [2]. This paper has, in fact, opened our eyes regarding the true impact on a global scale.

Our research team has very few resources, to the extent that the cost concern has always been of the utmost importance in every single action for us [3]. Therefore, we constantly reminded ourselves of all possible weaknesses and limitations and tried our best to safeguard ourselves from any integrity risks [4].

That’s why the performance of the NS paper has always been a beacon for our team to observe. And here it is. Reaching hundreds of thousands of readers worldwide could only be a dream when we were drafting the manuscript a year ago.

The hallmark came at a point when our submission of the “blood currency” manuscript was also approved to go live on arXiv (arXiv:2306.14230). The approval has given the manuscript another life thanks to arXiv’s prestige in the math-physics and computer sciences communities.
