At the end of every month, for each country, Mondaq analyses which articles were read the most by their registered business readers: ‘The Most Popular Article’. The reader may have come upon the article either on the Mondaq site, www.mondaq.com, via their personalised newsletters, or via one of their feeds to 3rd party sites. All readership for this article consists of real, identified individuals and no anonymous readers are included in the conferral of this award. Whilst Mondaq also distributes the same articles through major business systems like Lexis-Nexis, Westlaw, and Reuters, it cannot track readership of articles through these systems and they therefore do not figure in the presentation of the award.
