Usage by Copyright Years
Average eBooks Chapter Downloads 2008by Title and Copyright Year
• Unlike for journals content, the age of book
content seems not to play a very important
role.
• Books from 2008 were downloaded less often
in 2008 since they were uploaded on
SpringerLink in the course of the year and
were not available for the full twelve months.
