English Language Packages: Average Chapter Downloads 2012 by Title and Copyright Year

• Although a book title is used slightly less a few years after publication, there is definitely strong interest in ‘older’ book content.

• For example, chapters from an English language 2005 title were downloaded 755 times on average in 2012. This compares to ‘just’ 1,142 chapter downloads for an average 2011 title.

• 2012 titles had slightly fewer downloads on average, since many titles were added to SpringerLink only in the course of the year.

2012 Chapter Downloads by Copyright Years

(Data adjusted for abnormal usage spikes due to massive downloading)


eBooks downloads by visitor referral Q1 2013
