Journal Usage Project

Overview

The Journal Usage Project extends the research initially conducted by Dr. Vincent Larivière at the Université de Montréal and with three other universities in Quebec that examined the impact on libraries of the consolidation of journal publishing and the development of what is known in the industry as the “big deal”. The extension of the research on a national scale offers individual institutions insight into usage, citations, and faculty perceptions of journal value. It also affords the opportunity for some analysis of the data across CRKN member universities.

The following 28 CRKN member institutions participated in this project:

Atlantic Region:

  • Dalhousie University
  • Memorial University of Newfoundland
  • University of New Brunswick

Quebec:

  • Concordia University
  • McGill University
  • Université de Montréal

Ontario:

  • Carleton University
  • Lakehead University
  • Queen’s University
  • University of Guelph
  • University of Ottawa
  • University of Waterloo
  • University of Windsor
  • Western University
  • York University

Western Region:

  • MacEwan University
  • Mount Royal University
  • Simon Fraser University
  • University of Alberta
  • University of British Columbia
  • University of Calgary
  • University of Lethbridge
