75 ARL Statistics 2014–2015
Question Number Footnote
BRIGHAM YOUNG cont.
18 We discovered the 2013 successful full-text article request number was inflated due to a major
security breach into our databases. The figure being reported for 2013 was subsequently
normalized in order to more accurately reflect an estimate of “legitimate” full-text requests.
That 2013 figure should have been 2,534,701.
23 A computer failure during May and June of 2014 resulted in no counts during that period.
Estimates were made for those months to add to the recorded count to come up with a final
estimate of gate count for FY14.
