3.8. How has the use of books and journals as dissemination platforms changed in recent decades? More than 2,300 entries were grouped in decades and examined in order to see how the profiles reflected the evolution over time of each dissemination platform and their impact. In absolute terms, the analysis confirms that the book is currently a live platform that has had a significant growth over the last 40 years: the number of books included in the profiles and published in the 2000-2009 decade is almost four times larger than the number of books published in the previous 10 years, from 1900 to 1999. The trend seems to continue in the current decade according to the data on books published from 2010 to 2013. Regarding the use of journals, the multiplication of their presence as a dissemination platform is much greater. The number of articles published in the 2000-2009 decade is four times larger than that published in the previous decade. Moreover, the number of articles published in from 2010 to 2013 already constitutes half of the number of articles published throughout the previous decade.
