Methodological note

According to UNESCO recommendations, publishing productions should be all works taking the form of a book and pages, consisting of the non-periodical printed publications that are published in the country, made available to the public and, in general, have been entered into the national bibliography. The definition excludes ephemeral advertising publications, works of music and cartographic productions. On the other hand, official publications, text books, doctoral theses and others are included.
