The most read article in February was Kripke et al‘s study of the association between hypnotics and mortality, which was only published on February 27th (attracting almost 17,000 views in just a few days) and received widespread press attention. The second most read was Townsend and Pitchford’s study comparing the effect of different weaning styles on BMI in later life, an article which also garnered international attention. Other popular papers published last month included Noble et al‘s feasibility study of geospatial mapping and Stoolmiller et al‘s analysis of media consumption and alcohol use.
