The pie charts depict the number of journal articles read at an Australian university by all students, junior lecturers, and PhD students on a weekly basis.
At a single glance, it is readily apparent that the least number of journal articles are read by all students, while PhD students read the maximum number of journal articles per week. However, most of the junior lecturers read between 6 and 11 articles per week.
Delving into the details, all the students read at least one journal article per week, with the upper limit being 12 or more. The majority of all students (67%) read 1 to 5 articles per week. Three-quarters of junior lecturers read between 6 and 11 journals a week, alongside four-fifths of PhD students reading 12 or more journals.
While 80% of PhD students read greater than 12 journals, this percentage is significantly higher when compared to junior lecturers and all students, at 24% and 12% respectively. In contrast, two-thirds of all students read between one and five journals a week, followed by 5% of PhD students and 1% of junior lecturers.
