9.1 Trends and Intensity
The trends show the Literature Discovery and Regular Searches rose rapidly and peaked four (4) times during that period, i.e., i.e., February-March, Jun-July, November in 2020, and March 2021, even though it's a minor peak for the Literature Discovery in Jun-July 2020 period. After March 2021, both items maintained the same level of intensity (Figure 9.1.a).
The trends for Sessions and Infometric Use have shown both remained steady and fluctuated around the averages, except Infometric Use began to rise from April 2021, throughout the 18 months (Figure 9.1.a).
