Notable UNM Digital Repository Downloads
October 1, 2024
Migrating the School of Law’s three Law Journals to the UNM Digital Repository has not only made the work of UNM’s legal scholars more accessible to users worldwide, but it has also created an opportunity to assess which articles have the greatest impact based on their download numbers.
Among over 140,000 articles in the repository, one of the most downloaded is School of Law alumna Heidi Todacheene's (’15) article, “She Saves Us from Monsters: The Navajo Creation Story and Modern Tribal Justice.” This article has been downloaded over 170,000 times, highlighting the substantial demand for tribal law scholarship. Professor Emerita Sherri Burr holds the record for the most downloaded article, with over 5,000 downloads of her piece “The Free Blacks of Virginia: A Personal Narrative, A Legal Construct.” Among active professors, Professor Joshua Kastenberg’s article, “Tactical Level PSYOP and MILDEC Information Operations: How to Smartly and Lawfully Prime the Battlefield,” has received over 2,000 downloads.
