This paper describes the results of a cost-effectiveness analysis on the usage of foreign scientific and technical journals. In this study, the measure of cost-effectiveness chosen is the Cost Per Use(CPU) of a journal article. The photocopy usage data and annual subscription costs of journals subscribed by Korea Institute of Science & Technology Information were used. The results of this study illustrate that distribution of subscription cost and photocopy usage, Cost Per Use(CPU) of each journal, CPU of each subject field, etc. 80 percent of the demand for the journal was met by 40 percent of total subscription cost. A relationship was found between subscription cost and photocopy usage, however, no relationship was found between subscription cost and CPU.

How has the use of academic journals changed since the academic library purchase policy changed from selective journals based on core journals to package purchases by big deal? The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of supply and size of academic journals in university libraries on the use of journals. For this purpose, this study used the actual usage statistics of e-journals of K Academic Libraries during 2013-2015. The analysis shows that there is a so-called long-tail shape in which demand shifts to niche products that are effective in online platforms. Analysis of the use of academic journals by year for three years showed that the use of electronic journals in K Academic Libraries appeared to be a perfect Pareto shape, which is concentrated in the top 20% of journals. In particular, in 2015, the top 5% of journals accounted for nearly 80% of the total usage. Despite the changes in the supply method and size of academic journals, users' use of journals was still concentrated in core journals.

This paper describes the results of journals usage analysis conducted at the Korea Institute of Industry & Technology Information. The study covers the photocopy usage of journals during the past 5 years from 1995 through 1999. Analysis showed that 19% of journal collection met 93% of total demands. The Analysis also provided on journal use patterns. The most frequently used subject field of journals was Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. A relationship was found between rankings of journal as measured by the photocopy data and SCI journal citation ranking, however, no relationship was found between photocopy rankings of journal and rankings of journal impact factors.

본 연구는 학술커뮤니케이션에서 활용되는 온라인 전자출판물의 이용과 인용도에 대한 상관관계 분석과 유용성의 차이를 평가하고자 하는 연구목적을 수행하기 위해 학술지에 게재된 게재기사에 온라인 전자출판물을 인용한 저자들을 대상으로 이용도와 인용도를 조사하였으며, 학술지에 게재된 게재기사에 인용된 온라인 전자 출판물의 사회과학분야와 자연과학분야 간 유용성에 대해 비교 분석하였다. 학술지에 게재된 게재기사에 온라인 전자출판물을 인용한 저자의 이용도와 학술지에 인용된 온라인 전자출판물의 수와 인용비율간의 상관관계는 저자들의 온라인 전자출판물 주당 이용시간과 이용종수가 증가하더라도 저자들이 학술지에 인용하는 온라인 전자출판물의 수와 인용비율은 증가하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 사회과학분야와 자연과학분야 간에 있어서 학술지에 인용되는 온라인 전자출판물의 유용성에는 차이가 없었다. 따라서 학술지의 게재기사에 온라인 전자출판물을 인용한 저자들이 온라인 전자출판물을 많이 이용하는 것과 온라인 전자출판물을 실제로 인용하는 것에는 상관관계가 없으며, 측정요소를 통하여 평가한 사회과학 분야와 자연과학분야에서 온라인 전자출판물의 유용성에는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this empirical case study is to explore what factors affect on the economic valuation of academic journals and to ascertain the degree of each impact. For this study, factors were categorized into three groups: internal factors external factors and demand theory factors. The on-line questionnaire was used to collect data and 383 responded from individual users of and the persons in charge of the DDS(Document Delivery Service). Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 12.0 for Windows/PC. The result showed that there exist a strong relationship between the internal factors of academic journals(i.e., Impact Factor, Cost, and Language) and economic valuation in terms of its use value.

인터넷과 웹 기술의 발전은 전자도서관의 목록정보나 목차정보서비스에서 원문정보서비스로의 변화를 주도하고 있다. 그러나 대학에서 생산하는 학문적 가치가 높은 학술지들은 웹을 통해 원문으로 서비스되고 있지만 상이한 OPAC 시스템과 목록을 위한 통일된 메타데이터의 부재로 원문정보를 공유$.$활용하기가 매우 힘든 실정이다. 본 고에서는 각 대학에서 생산하고 구축된 원문정보를 메타데이터 기반의 목록시스템을 이용하여 모든 대학의 학술지 논문정보를 검색하여 공유할 수 있는 분담목록시스템모형을 제시함으로써 대학 학술지 이용의 효율적 방안을 모색 해보고자 한다.

학술지의 평가는 일반적으로 이용빈도와 인용빈도를 이용하여 이루어졌으나 시간과 비용, 인력문제에 따라 그 효용성에 많은 의문이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구는 이점에 착안하여 학술지를 평가하는 기준으로 학술지가 갖고 있는 외형적 정보를 활용하는 방안을 고찰하였다. 또한, 인용분석도 병행하여 외형적 평가기준과의 연관성도 조사하였다. 새로운 평가방법의 타당성을 측정하기 위해 학문 전반적인 연구에 앞서 일문학분야를 대상으로 기본적인 실험도 수행되었다.

This paper describes the results of a usage analysis on the scientific and technical journals in order to optimize the collection development at KISTI. By comparing usage data for the journals from 1997/2002, this study identifies the short-term changes in journal use, which were shown on the subject field, language, publication country, SCI journal and electronic journal. The changing of journal use has important implications for collection development strategy in sci-tech libraries.

In order to find out the relationship between the indicator of scholarly impact and e-Journal usage in Korea, we analyzed the correlation between the usage statistics of e-Journals published by American Chemical Society, Science, Elsevier and Wiley which was licensed by KESLI consortia in 2006 and impact factor in JCR 2006. We selected 4 universities and 5 research institutes as target institutions which participated in all of the 4 consortia and had higher frequency of e-Journal usage than others. In this correlation analysis we used variables such as the subjects of journals, the types of institution, and impact factor.

It is essential to conduct an analysis of superior journals, facilitate the international distribution of domestic journals, and determine an effective way to promote a journal's international distribution. This study seeks to determine an effective approach to the international distribution of Korean medical and life science journals and investigates the bibliographies, home pages, and databases about four international distribution factors with regard to 90 journals arranged into three categories. For the effective way of distributing domestic journals internationally, we should develope Korean journals with international standards, record the journals' articles in international and domestic databases, raise the rate of international subscription and holding journals. and publish electronic journals linking their electronic files with many databases.
