Show moreThe journal impact factor remains a controversial metric and its widespread adoption has critical implications for the development of open access journals not indexed by the Web of Science. The present study evolved from collaborations with editors of a small open-access locally published social sciences journal to assess its global reach and research value according to the professed scope and mission of the journal. Using a combination of Google Scholar and BePress data, we built a customized multifaceted framework to measure the success of this journal beyond citation counts. Our analysis incorporated the bibliometric concepts of popularity and prestige, as well as measures of readership and global reach in order to quantify the journal’s impact for prospective contributors. This poster will highlight the issues and benefits of using various types of data available to assess the impact of a journal.
The topic of this poster is based on the article by the authors: Solomon, D., & Eddy, M. (2019). Impact Assessment of Non-Indexed Open Access Journals: A Case Study. portal: Libraries and the Academy, 19(2), 329-352. Retrieved from http://muse.jhu.edu/article/721428.

Four librarians from four different collection areas — the humanities, the social sciences, and 2 unique areas in engineering — all set out to see if evaluating the collection against recent publications by faculty and students can foster stronger engagement between them and the subject collectors in their areas.
