Das Research Information Network hat die Nutzung von E-Journals (am Beispiel der Oxford Journals) untersucht: “The e-journals revolution: how the use of scholarly journals is shaping research”. Die Kernpunkte:
- One third of users access Oxford Journals outside business hours
- Around 40% of sessions originated from a Google Search
- Most users spend little time on journal webpages, but return often
- The median age of articles was 48 months (life sciences), 73 months (economics), and 90 months (history)
- Life sciences users rarely read abstracts on publisher platforms
