Scientific paper

I looked at statistically large samples of references in the Astrophysical Journal and Astronomy & Astrophysics at approximately decade intervals from 1952 to 2009. They show an increase of references to journals from 76% to 90.0% at the expense of references to monographs (down to 3.4%), conference papers (down to 2.6%), in-house papers (down to 1.2%), theses (down to 0.3%), and private communications (0.0%). References to preprints (1.3%) and review papers (1.2%) have also increased. The general conclusion is that references that are available online are increasing in usage while the remaining references are decreasing.
