Badri,
Thanks for the alert - an interesting piece. The most surprising fact
was the way people now get to Medline articles:
"In June 2005, Google provided the majority (56.4 percent) of the
referrals from search engines to articles in HighWire-hosted journals
(see <http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/354/1/4#F1>pie chart).
PubMed accounted for 8.7 percent, Google Scholar 3.7 percent, and
Yahoo 3.4 percent. "
Amazing,
Best wishes,
Paul Glasziou
