Increase in the Listing of Publications From South America
Our new Browse by Country function makes it easy to identify trends in our listing of publications across the globe. From February 2020 to October 2020, the team has significantly increased the coverage of publications from countries in South America. In February 2020, Sherpa Romeo contained 582 publications from South American countries. The team has been busy with requests for new listings and the number has now increased by 8.78% to 633 publications in October 2020.
