Journal Usage Reports (JUR)[edit]
Journal Use Reports from Thomson ISI is a new analytical resource created to help librarians/decision takers understand how journals are used in their institutions. The data includes information for all journals not only those indexed in JCR and might be very helpful in the license decision process. JUR is not an Electronic Resource Management (ERM system), but summarizes indicators about
- journal influence (in its subject area)
- institutional publication activity
- usage statistics (COUNTER compliant usage statistics)
- pricing information
