Background
• Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN)
– Canada’s national consortium
• In late 2012 CRKN negotiations with American Chemical Society (ACS) broke down
![Page 4: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Background
• Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN)
– Canada’s national consortium
• In late 2012 CRKN negotiations with American Chemical Society (ACS) broke down
• Appeared that individual libraries nationwide would need to handle their own negotiations with ACS for bundle of journals
![Page 5: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Background
• It became clear that UofS would likely not be able to afford the entire bundle
= unbundle a big deal
![Page 6: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Purpose
• ACS Web Editions bundle is a very important package to chemistry researchers
= need to make evidence-based decisions
![Page 7: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Purpose
• ACS Web Editions bundle is a very important package to chemistry researchers
= need to make evidence-based decisions
• Recent SUNY Potsdam controversy (2012)
= heightened awareness & sensitivity
![Page 8: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Objective
Use data available to develop a ranked list of most important ACS titles to subscribe to
![Page 9: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“Triangulation” Method:Three data sources
1. Usage data (# of full text downloads / year)
– Most recent 3 yrs: 2011-2013
![Page 10: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Triangulation” Method:Three data sources
1. Usage data (# of full text downloads / year)
– Most recent 3 yrs: 2011-2013
2. Citation analysis
– Chemistry researcher’s publication venues
(Most recent 3 yrs: 2011-2013)
– Reference lists in those articles

More on Methods
• Bradford’s Law
–Citation analysis method
– Finds core journals in particular disciplines
![Page 13: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
More on Methods
• Bradford’s Law
–Citation analysis method
– Finds core journals in particular disciplines
–Divide total citations into several roughly equal zones (of decreasing importance)
–# of citations constant in each zone, but # of journal titles will increase across zones

More on Methods
• Three zones I use based on terminology in survey:
– Essential
–Good to have
–Unnecessary

Conclusions
• This analysis was a lot of work but...
– Enables me to feel more confident in making the hard choices
– Several sources of data supporting my decisions = easier to convince researchers (evidence-based)
![Page 50: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Conclusions
• This analysis was a lot of work but...
– Enables me to feel more confident in making the hard choices
– Several sources of data supporting my decisions = easier to convince researchers (evidence-based)
– Including researchers in the decisions gives them a voice and “gets them on side”
![Page 51: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Conclusions
• Dept of Chem researchers NOT only users of this bundle (as we previously assumed)
–Might have important implications down the road
![Page 52: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Limitations
• Only Dept of Chem researchers studied (except for usage data)
• Bradford’s Law works best for sub-disciplines (i.e. not entire field of chemistry!)
![Page 53: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Limitations
• Only Dept of Chem researchers studied (except for usage data)
• Bradford’s Law works best for sub-disciplines (i.e. not entire field of chemistry!)
• Only the last 3 yrs of data included
• Data represents a current “snapshot”
–Cannot necessarily predict future patterns
![Page 54: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Limitations
• Only Dept of Chem researchers studied (except for usage data)
• Bradford’s Law works best for sub-disciplines (i.e. not entire field of chemistry!)
• Only the last 3 yrs of data included
• Data represents a current “snapshot”
–Cannot necessarily predict future patterns
• Not a “bullet-proof” analysis

Discussion
• Comprehensive methodology necessary?
– Time consuming, labour intensive
– Likely not practical for much larger, multi-disc bundles (e.g. SD Freedom Collection)
![Page 56: NISO Apr 29 Virtual Conference: Dismantling a Single-Discipline Journal Bundle: A Triangulation Method for Assessment Diane (DeDe) Dawson MSc, MLIS, Science Liaison Librarian, Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5f0901a28ab05328b458e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Discussion
• Worthwhile in some cases, such as when...
– Faculty have strong connection to package
–Politics/controversy involved
= necessary to have evidence-based data to support case for which titles to cancel
