Reflections on a “use” metric Need to keep in mind that “use” and “quality” are not identical– A metaphysical truth with limited practical implications in this situation– Why would you pay for even a high quality journal that no one uses? May be important to adjust “use” by the relevant population– Physics journals get less use than History journals because there e aretypically fewer Physics faculty and students than in History Broad packages <strong>of</strong> journals need to be judged not on cost pertitle, but cost per use– Until the digital environment, use data was too problematic– This approach really appears to change the value propositionsignificantly
