Abstract
This study presents an analysis model for setting up a core journal collection for academic libraries. The model uses multiple factors based on the concept that convergence of data from all available sources should be used in core journal selection due to the inherent limitations of each source. The factors considered in the study are locally collected citations, local use, impact factor, and subscription price. The scores of journals range from ‘0’ to ‘400’ with about 20% of the total collection representing the core list. This study also conducts a case study to demonstrate how academic libraries could apply the model to formulate a list of core journals for their collections.
