Thanks Ken. I had mine up on academia but took it down once it was available through the university's research bank. I thought this might be important for the university to count the number of times people access it. Do you know if this is true?
I'm happy to put mine back up if not. It's quite nice to see people other than my supervisors show an interest in reading it. I had over a hundred downloads from academia while it was up.
Best wishes
Toni
