#Periodicals scholars (@rs4vp.org etc). How do you quantify your data? I'm researching adverts and the moment and have been using simple numbers (e.g. issue X has Y no. of advert content) as this is the most straightforward. However, space and sizing is a much more pressing issue for advert content!
