EVISA welcomed its 15 Millionth User
(13.07.2020)
The EVISA web portal at www.speciation.net, being on-line without any interruption since 18 years, has been visited by more than 15 Million visitors until now.
We have actually welcomed more than 15 Million visitors on EVISA's
web portal (July 2020), more than 1.6 Million during the year 2019. The users
have downloaded more than 13.5 Million pages during the year 2019.
While Google has downgraded our web portal during the years mostly because of "formatting" issues (use of tables, missing support of smartphones, missing support of handicapped visitors), it is our faithful user community that tells us that the
information value provided by EVISA is highly accepted. During the
years, EVISA has become the primary information site for all those
interested in speciation and trace element analysis. This community is limited in size, is mostly aware of the EVISA web portal and therefore we do not expect any further substantial growth.
The European Virtual Institute for Speciation Analysis (EVISA) is
working since more than 18 years for promoting speciation analysis.
EVISA is acting as an - event organizer, offering workshops, training courses and symposia for topics related to trace element and speciation analysis,
- broker between costumers having speciation related demands and partner laboratories offering solutions,
- consultant, informing industry, legislators and other third parties about the capabilities of speciation analysis,
- research promoter, initiating the development of easy and robust methods for speciation analysis, enhancing the quality of analytical results and the information provided by speciation analysis
- information provider, giving easy access to valuable speciation related information, enhancing the knowledge about the biological activity, function and toxicity of chemical species.
The EVISA web portal at
www.speciation.net is giving access to valuable speciation related
information on about 17,000 pages. While such information was not
easily accessible when EVISA started in 2003, the situation has partly changed
during the last 18 years. Meanwhile, most instrument manufacturers and
analytical service providers offer at least a "landing page" informing
about their products and services related to speciation analysis. Such information is however spread over an ever-growing number of places on the internet without any stability over time. Information, that was available yesterday, is disappearing again tomorrow.
It
is however the EVISA web portal that provides unbiased information by
offering an overview of available techniques and materials related to
speciation analysis and informs about new research results, standards
and regulations or upcoming events. We also work hard to keep information up-to-date over long time periods. You therefore can always come back to pages bookmarked even years ago.
