Usage Comparison between an English-Language and a French-Language E-Monograph Collection in a Bilingual Canadian University

Abstract

This article reports the results of a quantitative and systematic analysis comparing usage rates between English-language and French-language e-monograph titles at Laurentian University, Canada. Full-text viewings were collected as usage metrics. English-language e-monographs exhibited medium strength linear relationships between collection size and usage. On the other hand, French-language e-monographs exhibited weak linear relationships between collection size and usage. The French-language e-monograph collection experienced a higher rate of full-text use, relative to size. The cost-per-viewing ratio for the English-language e-monograph collection was higher than those that calculated for the French-language collection.

科技期刊数字优先出版问题与应对

科技期刊数字优先出版较好地解决了出版时滞长、学术论文难以快速出版等问题,加快了科技成果的传播速度.单篇优先灵活性大,出版速度更快;整期优先版面完整,灵活、便捷.纸质期刊出版后不宜覆盖数字优先版本,以解决版本冲突、DOI不确定等问题.同一文献无论数字优先还是纸质版,都应纳入文献引用频次统计.科技期刊出版工作更应强化互联网思维,尽快把数字出版文献纳入学术评价范畴,加强数字优先出版版权保护.无纸化网络出版是大势所趋,未来单篇数字优先出版将逐渐占据数字优先出版主导地位,乃至全部.期待依托网络时速性及大数据、云计算优势,构建独具特色、性格独特的科技期刊,促进学术环境健康发展.
