New database of journal user information.
Posted: July 9th, 2007Journal Info, developed by Lund University Libraries with support from the National Library of Sweden, provides useful user information on about 18,000 journals from a variety of academic fields. Although there are other databases of journal information providing exact titles, ISSNs, and subject descriptors, Journal Info brings together this information with data on reader accessibility (such as whether it is Open Access or not), cost (e.g. price per article), and quality (listing impact factors and databases each are indexed in). Although already easy to use and an important tool, the system is still very new so the developers are open to suggestions for improvement.
