Question

How does ProQuest Count Searches?

Answer

Search by Word -- The search count is incremented every time the search button is clicked. Subsequently clicking next to retrieve the next set of results does not increment the search count.
Search by Publication -- The search count is incremented every time the search button is clicked on the search by publication page. Subsequently browsing issues of a journal and / or documents within the journal does not increment the search count.
Search by Topic -- The search count is incremented every time a search is performed that returns articles. Searching and navigating within the topic tree does not increment the search count.
