Hybrid publications are consumed in both the research domain and the societal domain. Quantitative evidence for this can be found in the form of Google Scholar citations and by conducting online searches using search engines such as Google and Bing, in accordance with contextual response analysis. This analysis makes it possible to filter search results and to examine the extent to which a publication is used. The numbers of civil society stakeholders specified below pertain to websites run by individual organisations and persons (e.g. bloggers), excluding webstores, libraries, repositories (university and otherwise) and self-citations.
The number of citations depends in part on disciplinary differences, citation cultures and publication date. The number of civil society stakeholders depends in part on the immediate relevance of the publication, the extent to which their various occupational fields are institutionalised or organised, and publication date.
The table gives examples of hybrid publications nominated by various panels. These publications are clearly used both in academia and in society. (Text continues after table.)

Contextual response analysis also makes it possible to develop user profiles for hybrid publications. The diagram below gives a number of examples showing that each publication has its own user profile. User analysis can thus serve to demonstrate and examine in detail productive interactions pursuant to the SIAMPI method. For more about the SIAMPI method, see Spaapen and Van Drooge, 2011; for more about Contextual Response Analysis, see Prins and Spaapen, 2016.
