Abstract:
The rising acceptance of e-only policy and open access initiative transforms the collection composition in academic libraries.Accordingly,the roles of electronic,print and open access journals as part of a library's journal holdings have become different from the past.By comparing the effectiveness of these three formats of resources as the reference source of published articles,this article attempts to analyze their features and tendencies under the current open access environment as well as discusses how the development of open access journals has impacted the collection building of university libraries in China,so as to provide enlightenment and reference for academic libraries to optimize their resource provision and meet the patrons' current needs.
Sample of this research was drawn from the articles whose first author is from Wuhan University.They should be issued in 2013 and indexed by SCIE,SSCI or A&HCI.The authors introduced an improved citation checking method to the study by matching the journal cited references of the sample with the journals from print,electronic collections and the world's major open access databases that are available at Wuhan University Library in accordance with the publishing year instead of the volume number.Thus,the availability and unavailability of the source journals in open access,electronic,and print journal resources can be examined and compared in a comprehensive manner.
The research revealed several facts. 1) 66 968 journal citations were identified as valid sample citations in this study,accounting for 92.28% of the total citations from the sample.Up to 6 970 journals were cited,9.61 times each on average.The publishing year of the sample citations spans from 1805 to 2014. 25 394 cited references of sample citations were published after 2009,which means the Price Index is 37.92%.The joint literature guarantee rate of sample citations is 87.97%,and the joint literature guarantee rate of the source journals is 73.34%. 2) As for the electronic collection,75.6% of the cited references and 63.69% of the source journals could be found among the electronic holdings of Wuhan University Library.Unavailable titles and unavailable issues resulted in almost the same number of access failure.The average cited frequency of unavailable titles was below half that of the unavailable issues. 3) In the case of print collection,52.22% of the cited references and 31.91% of the source journals were collected by Wuhan University Library in print format.Only 0.11% of the sample citations had access failure because of unavailable issues. 4) And,in relation to open access resources,14.53% of the cited references and 10.62% of the source journals were provided by OA journals.Access failure occurred much more often on unavailable titles than on unavailable issues. 5) Based on the most recent ten-year annual data,current issue databases had a quality defect in continuity ranging from 5.86% to 9.56% commonly. 6) The unguaranteed accessibility of back issues is a sign for academic libraries to rearrange their transition progress of journal collections from printed format to electronic only subscriptions; otherwise the library's social function of passing on the cultural heritage will be weakened. 7) The improved citation checking method was applicable to 97.00% of the sample citations,leaving only 3.78% to be matched manually.Proved precise and efficient in citation checking for journals in this case,this approach can be used for large sample and avoid defects caused by a narrowed range of samples meanwhile.
The study also has some limitations.At first,the improved citation checking method adopted here failed to indicate whether cited sources from hybrid open access journals are available in open access databases because of their varied opening policies. The second limitation was the absence of an in-depth research on the format duplication issue,which leads to the absence of more pertinent and purposive suggestions on the coordinated development of print,electronic and open access journal holdings of academic libraries.Overlap analysis will be the next study focus of the authors to facilitate further research on this topic. 5 figs. 3 tabs. 21 refs.
中文摘要:
      在开放存取蓬勃发展和高校图书馆馆藏电子化的大趋势下,高校图书馆的文献保障工作如何适应新的趋势,需要深入研究。本文以武汉大学2013年被SCIE、SSCI和A&HCI所收录文章的期刊类参考文献为研究样本,采用一种针对期刊类参考文献的以年为单位的引文检查方法,匹配世界主要开放存取期刊目录以及武汉大学图书馆馆藏电子和印本期刊目录,研究当前这三类期刊对样本参考文献及来源期刊的收藏和缺藏情况。以此探讨三类期刊在高校图书馆文献资源保障中的特征与趋势,以及开放存取期刊对馆藏资源建设的影响,为高校图书馆进一步优化期刊馆藏体系和提高文献保障率提供科学依据。图5。表3。参考文献21。
