日本原子力研究開発機構(原子力機構)は、エルゼビア社の協力を得て、サイエンスダイレクトを利用した電子ジャーナルの利用調査を実施した。調査結果は原子力機構の研究開発成果報告書JAEA-Review-2008-021として刊行されている。本稿は、調査結果の概要と調査結果からみた海外学術雑誌の選定に関する考察を報告するものである。

Japan Atomic Energy Agency performed the survey on usage of electronic journals using "Science Direct" provided by Elsevier Science, 2006. Although JAEA researchers are interested in 1,028 titles among physics, chemistry, engineer, medicine, social sciences etc., it is found the 80% of total downloads was occupied by only 102 journal titles. To satisfy researcher's needs for electronic journals effectively, identification the core journals by librarians based on user's needs is rational way in cost. By shifting from print to electronic journals, the number of users increased by 30% and the number of papers read by researchers increased by 7 times. It is also found that many of researchers do not use SD useful functions such as searching, linking to other bibliographic records, and alerting new information of electronic journals.
