    This study reviewed medical journal list formulation and surveyed academic health science library subscriptions. Most core journals identified in libraries are already recognized in established medical journal lists.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Librarianship
    • Bibliometrics
    • Information Science

    Background:

    • Formulating comprehensive medical journal lists is crucial for academic health science libraries.
    • Understanding current subscription trends aids in resource allocation and collection development.
    • Previous efforts to define core medical journals exist but require validation against current library holdings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing methodologies for creating basic medical journal lists.
    • To analyze subscription data from a sample of academic health science libraries.
    • To compare identified core journals with previously established lists.

    Main Methods:

    • A systematic review of literature on medical journal list formulation.
    • A survey analyzing journal subscriptions across thirty-seven academic health science libraries.

  • Statistical analysis to identify journals with high subscription rates (60-100%) within the sample.

    • Main Results:

    • Analysis revealed journals consistently subscribed to by 90-100% of the surveyed libraries.
    • A significant overlap was found between these highly subscribed journals and titles present in previously formulated medical journal lists.
    • The study identified a core set of frequently subscribed medical journals.

    Conclusions:

    • Established medical journal lists largely reflect current subscription practices in academic health science libraries.
    • The findings support the validity of existing lists for collection development and resource identification.
    • Further research could explore the impact of emerging digital resources on core journal identification.
