Professional publications that used GBIF-enabled data for analysis during 2009 showed a year-on-year increase of more than 500%, according to the latest statistics drawn from Google Scholar.

Use of GBIF-mediated data is an important success indicator for the GBIF network. The GBIF Secretariat has therefore been tracking publications over the last 4 years (since 2007) to assess, in part, the usefulness and fitness for use of GBIF enabled data. In 2009, these references increased to 92 from 17 in 2008.
