Readers of WikiJournal content is complicated to estimate, especially as content is integrated into Wikimedia projects where appropriate. A notable example is an article of reference ranges for several hormones (https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Reference_ranges_for_estradiol,_progesterone,_luteinizing_hormone_and_follicle-stimulating_hormone_during_the_menstrual_cycle), whose diagrams have been integrated into multiple Wikipedia articles, together amounting to a readership of over 250,000 per month. |
