The three pie charts compare how many academic papers were read weekly by all student populations, PhD students and junior lectures at a particular Australian university.
From an overall perspective, it is evident that those who were doing doctorates tend to read more journal articles each week as opposed to either all students or junior lecturers. Meanwhile, the least number of articles were read by all student population.
Looking at the details, fewer than 5 articles constituted the largest proportion of all students, 67 percent. This was followed by the 6-11 and the 12+ divisions, which allocated just over one out of five students and a tenth of students, respectively. As regards the category of those studying for doctorates, the overwhelming majority, 80 percent, read at least twelve articles per week. The last sector is reading 6 to 11 books per week accounting for the biggest share of junior lecturers, 75 percent as opposed to 21 percent of all students and 15 percent PhD students.
