UF/IFAS COMMUNICATIONS

Ask IFAS and EDIS Publications

Twenty-five years in the making, the Ask IFAS website is the new public face for EDIS, UF/IFAS' collection of online numbered publications. The site is designed to work in a system with two companion resources: the EDIS journal site (ISSN 2576-0009) for management of peer review and for ongoing access to our publications as historical records, and an administrative dashboard for internal users to use for reporting and management activities.

Ask IFAS carries on EDIS’ role as a comprehensive, single-source repository of all current UF/IFAS numbered peer-reviewed publications. Each year, visitors to the website access one of over 6,500 publication titles more than 17.5 million times.

Information for EDIS Authors
Comprehensive author information can be found in the EDIS Author Handbook.

Statistics and Reporting

EDIS statistics are made available each year for an annual period running from November 16 of the previous year through November 15. With the launch of the Ask IFAS site, the statistics and reporting features were shifted to the EDIS Admin site, with availability planned for November after the 2021 data are available.

For the curious, historical traffic information is available now for individual publications. The admin site page for any publication is https://edis-admin.ifas.ufl.edu/publications/[DLN] where [DLN] is the DLN of the publication. You can navigate to this page from your contact dashboard or by looking up the publication on the Manage Publications page. Look for the blue "statistics" button in the upper right corner.
