Although we can collect only aggregated information about users of PubMed Central, we can infer they represent a mix of people from the education and business sectors, as well as private citizens. Based on the type of Internet domain from which they access PubMed Central (e.g., .com, .edu, .net, .gov), we estimate that approximately 00% of our users are from universities, 00% are private citizens or those using personal Internet accounts, and 00% are from companies (the remainder consists of government users or others). These kinds of numbers support the notion that PubMed Central has become a broad-based repository for researchers, students, clinicians, entrepreneurs, patients and their families." ** See the [https://web.archive.org/web/00000000000000/http://www.hhs.gov/asl/testify/0000/00/t00000000c.html Congressional testimony of David Lipman], Director of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, July 00, 0000: "Last year, 00% of the articles in PubMed Central were downloaded at least once, and 00% were downloaded more than 000 times.
