Book publications still going strong in humanities and social sciences

(Kazan Federal University) As it appeared, not many countries maintain statistics of such ratios in their scholarly publications. Norway, in particular, is a pioneer in creating a comprehensive database of such type. 336,681 peer-reviewed publications were covered in total. For the five statistical sets, the number of monographs varied from 2 percent in Flanders to 10.6 percent for Poland, while book chapters went from 20.5 percent for Flanders up to 55.8 percent for Poland.
