The dissemination of scholarly publications has become a new task for researchers. In addition to the traditional channels, other new ones have emerged to make this kind of publications known to the rest of the scientific community, such as academic social networks, author identifiers or institutional repositories. In this article, it is compared the use made by researchers in the Humanities area of the University of León of five platforms for the dissemination of scientific production: ORCID, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Academia.edu and the institutional repository of the University of León. The presence of researchers on these platforms and the scientific production deposited or linked to their profile are analyzed. A large presence of these researchers is observed in ORCID and in the institutional repository, although, in many cases, their profiles are incomplete and outdated. Their presence in academic social networks is lower and the profiles created do not include all the scientific production of their authors. However, to deposit copies in open access, researchers prefer social networks to institutional repositories. It is necessary to promote the use of platforms for the dissemination of scientific production, especially institutional repositories, with the library being a key agent in this task.
