Top of the Exchanges Scholarly Pops 2020

Writing about web page https://exchanges.warwick.ac.uk/

Last year might already feel a long time ago, which given the events it witnessed, might not be a bad thing. However, we’re not quite done looking back over what 2020 had for us here at Exchanges. Hence, once again, we’re delighted to bring you the top 10 articles based on the number of times they were downloaded by readers over the past calendar year. It’s notable looking at the table below, that while articles with a greater deal of maturity show up as retaining their popularity, many of the top articles last year were taken from three volumes of Exchanges we published in 2020. It’s especially wonderful to see that our number one article comes from our celebrated special issue from last January!

2	From the Advent of Multiculturalism to the Elision of Race: The Representation of Race Relations in Disney Animated Features (1995-2009)	v2(1)	#3
3	Academic Fraud	v7(3)	NE
4	Myths of Male Same-Sex Love in the Art of the Italian Renaissance	v3(1)	#2
5	Tokens, Writing and (Ac)counting: A Conversation with Denise Schmandt-Besserat and Bill Maurer	v5(1)	#1
6	Participatory Development: A Tool of Pedagogy	v4(1)	#6

10	Global Environmental Liability: Multinational Corporations under Scrutiny	v1(2)	#4

Our thanks to all our authors, not only those who appear in this chart, and here’s hoping our various issues this year contain some pieces which similarly climb to the heights in the 2021 charts. For contrast, you might like to see what were the top articles in 2019 in my post from a year ago too.
