  19. Preliminary results I • More than 10 European countries have achieved comprehensive bibliographic data for the SSH. • Except Germany and Spain, these are all smaller countries (in terms of population) • Although in several countries progress towards achieving full coverage is being made, Croatia have actually reverted to evaluation using the Web of Science only. In Spain, support to systems that provide quality indicators for national journals has been weakened.

  20. Preliminary results II • All countries that have comprehensive SSH data available, use it for research information, statistics and studies. • Except Germany and Spain, all countries also use it for institutional funding. • In several countries we see increasing openness, e.g. with the generation of online public access catalogues, statistics and even full text repositories.
