Reflecting on our first year with The Conversation, it’s hugely encouraging to see the volume and breadth of Swansea University research being featured on the global platform, and the overwhelming impact this has generated for our research community.
As of September 2017, we have had 109 articles published which have been read over 2,665,000 times, with many being republished in the main stream International media, which has led to a wide range of responses.
