Adding value and assessing impact through a collaborative approach to
This paper was first presented at Online Information 2011
A collaborative project
National initiative for licensing online journals on behalf of the higher and further education and research communities in the UK
SHEDL aims through collaboration and combined purchasing power to achieve a shared digital library in Scotland
WHELF's mission is to promote library and information services co-operation and to encourage the exchange of ideas among University and Higher Education libraries in Wales
Metrics and the scholarly journal
• The Impact Factor continues to play a key role in evaluating the quality of a journal
• However, the arrival of online journals and the ability to count usage has added a new dimension to the evaluation process
• Work is still in progress regarding a possible Usage Factor which would be based on usage data analysis
Usage data in publisher pricing models
• The majority of negotiations between publishers and libraries involves some discussion about usage data
• Some publishers have begun to use usage as the sole or key component in their pricing model (AAAS, ACS)
• When this happens, both parties need to ensure they are working with the same data. Project COUNTER has helped and JUSP is playing its part too
Lies, damn lies and statistics
What are all these usage figures telling us?
•Star titles– very high usage •Usage of non-subscribed titles within a Big Deal•Zero use titles
COUNTER JR1 reports
• Getting access to individual publisher sites is difficult and time-consuming
• Importance of analysis not just collecting:• To show value for money• To decide on renewal/cancellation
• Single point of access to usage data from multiple publishers
• No need to visit separate publisher sites to download usage statistics
• Usage comparison across publishers and years
• Establishing value for money
