>> biology (MCB), in order to create a core list of
>> journals for the MCB faculty of the Pennsylvania
>> State University. The core list of journals was
>> needed as the first step in a larger serials
>> evaluation process. The method did not require use
>> data, but incorporated various quality measures,
>> including publication in journals by Penn State
>> faculty, citings of journals by Penn State faculty,
>> and Journal Citation Report data from ISI. This
>> study produced a core list of fifty MCB journals,
>> as well as other benefits. Although the list of
>> core MCB journals derived from this study is
>> specific to the needs of Penn State faculty, the
>> method could be adapted to other situations.
