crl-15565	Dilevko, Juris; Atkinson, Esther	Evaluating Academic Journals without Impact Factors for Collection Management Decisions	2002-11-01	16	.pdf	application/pdf	9050	316	49	Any choices of this kind are necessarily based on such issues as time constraints, staff availability to carry out the proce- dures, and the degree to which the insti- tution is committed to ensuring that nonranked journals are given the same consideration as ranked journals. Yet, when libraries do use JCR to evaluate journals in their collections, it is often the case that “the journals one wishes to evaluate may not be contained in the JCR.”15 For example, of the approxi- mately 126,000 scientific journals pub- lished worldwide, the JCR Science Edi- tion covers only about 5,700 of them.16,17 Faced with the fact that many of the jour- nals in their collections, or journals they may wish to purchase for their collections, are not part of JCR and therefore cannot easily be compared with ranked journals in the same field, collection management librarians may not be properly evaluat- ing such journals for selection and de-se- lection purposes.	cache/crl-15565.pdf	txt/crl-15565.txt
