Dear SMU Community,
SMU publications have been downloaded 4 million times from InK, our institutional repository. SMU publications are making impact, with 56% of the downloads from the education sector and 37% from the commercial sector.
InK was launched in 2011, and it hit 3 million downloads in July 2019. In just 11 months, InK accumulated another 1 million downloads, from a collection of over 11,000 full text papers.
