About this title

Synopsis

Bonn and Furlough edit this volume on metrics for libraries to assess scholarly journals. Three main parts discuss the metric strategies of impact factor, bibliometrics, and altmetrics, with each section containing a chapter introducing the definition and history of each assessment plus a chapter reviewing its practical applications and specific occurrences in collection management and use. The final part addresses variations in impact assessment and important across different academic disciplines, and the role of librarians in influencing impact.
