Hi Reed,

I first joined up with academia.edu because I wanted an academic website that would keep all my materials in one place even if I moved from one job to another.  I think there's a fair investment of time and effort to keep these things up-to-date so it's good to be able to have complete control of it.  And it is free.  

Since joining, I've found it be much more useful than I originally anticipated.  It's allowed me to connect to a lot of scholars whose work I may not have come across otherwise.  Similarly, it's allowed my work to have a much wider reach then it might have had without it.  One of its more useful functions is the Google Analytics which tell you how often your website is accessed, what papers are the most viewed or the most downloaded, what countries those readers are accessing it from.  In writing a book proposal recently, I was asked about websites and the ability to promote a book there.  It was helpful to be able to quote some of these statistics.

Cheers,
Candice

Subject: Re: New Issue of ACME: An International Journal for Critical Geographies

People,

Why do people use Academia.edu as a document repository?

I ask because Springer's polemical piece in the latest ACME links
out to a response from Levi Gahman, but it's on Academia.edu
and requires a Google or Facebook account or an email address
and other information to download the PDF. I've run up against
this too many times to count, and I thought I'd ask the list
what gives. Clearly, lots of people find the site useful and
like to publish manuscripts and things there. Why?

To me, it's really disappointing when I want to read something but don't want
to hand over my information to yet another website (especially one that
shares funders with Uber). But I understand that it's entirely possible
the site is so useful to its members as to make that an acceptable tradeoff.

I know lots of institutions provide open access repositories for
their students and faculty. Is Academia.edu easier to use or otherwise
preferable to these? Is there a need for easier-to-use open access repositories
or for free ones available to independent scholars or researchers at
institutions that don't provide such a system?

Cheers,
Reed
