Analyzing search results reveals that a core group of 200 journal titles meets 55% of clinical users' information needs. This bibliometric method quantifies clinical journal requirements.

Area of Science:

  • Bibliometrics
  • Medical Informatics
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Assessing clinical user journal needs is crucial for effective library resource allocation.
  • Traditional methods for evaluating journal usage may not fully capture evolving clinical information demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a quantitative method for measuring clinical user journal needs.
  • To analyze bibliographic search results to identify frequently accessed journal titles.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective bibliometric analysis of citation selections from clinical users was performed.
  • Journal usage was quantified by counting the frequency of identification during bibliographic search sessions.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Clinical users identified 2,078 journal articles across 901 unique titles.
  • The top 200 journal titles satisfied 55% of identified clinical user journal needs.
  • A significant portion (54%) of unique journals were identified only once, suggesting low demand.

Conclusions:

  • Bibliographic search result analysis provides a viable quantitative method for assessing clinical user journal needs.
  • This approach can inform collection development and estimate requirements for digital journal subscriptions.
