Abstract
This study presents a method for journal collection evaluation using citation analysis. Cost-per-use (CPU) for each title is used to measure cost-effectiveness with higher CPU scores indicating cost-effective titles. Use data are based on the impact factor and locally collected citation score of each title and is compared to the cost of managing and subscribing to journals. The study also conducts a case study to demonstrate how academic libraries could apply the method to local studies.
