I'm having problems measuring articles which have irregular measurements of columns... I just don't know what to do with it. At first I thought of measuring the article by column inch by measuring the length of the columns (all columns) then multiplying it to the number of columns, but it turned out to be a large number. the other studies I've seen don't have those large numbers...
so please help me? :( thanks a lot.

One measure is column inches, regardless of the width of the column.
Another measure is the number of words, which you would have to do manually if the publication is already printed and you don't have access to the original word processing files. One way to calculate the number of words is to count the words on one page, then estimate the amount of each page the articles occupy. For example, if one whole page of text is 1,500 words, an article that takes up about one-third of a page would be about 500 words, and so on.

Column inch, the columns are a standard width.
