CURRENT HEAVY• Current year (2016) use is > 30%

• Nature: current year more than 50%

• Current year is >10% than previous 3 years

RECENT HEAVY• Current year plus 3 (2013-2016) usage

is > 50% of total

• Two subpatterns:

• Current < past 3:

• Curent and past 3 at same level

PRE-2000 HEAVY• Pre-2000 downloads >40% of total

STEADY • Every category is less than 30% of total

SOME DETAILS

• Titles featured all have at least 200 downloads in 2016

• Names and definitions of the patterns can be further refined

• All graphs done with Excel

• Some journals can fit into more than one category: current/recent heavy

• Most journals across years have same/similar pattern

INSIGHTS & FURTHER STUDIES

• Used for collection management, communication with management

• Embargoed titles: need direct subscription for the Current Heavy titles

• Back files: negotiate for trial period then decide

• Potential for sharing with other data scientists

• Next: Turn-away reports by publication year

• Same journal at different institutions: same pattern?

• Patterns for social sciences and humanities journals?
