7.1 Trends and Intensity
The trend for Literature Discovery shows that it rose and peaked rapidly in January and September 2020, and February 2021. On the other hand, the Regular Searches trend only shows a gradual rising in October 2020 and peaked in November 2020 (Figure 7.1.a). In different periods, both trends tend to fluctuate around their averages.
Meanwhile, the Sessions and Infometric Use trends have shown that both remained relatively steady and fluctuated around the averages throughout the 18-month duration (Figure 7.1.a).
