Good morning,

 

You may wish to consult “The Oligopoly of Academic Publishers in the Digital Era” and its authors on this question, as this is something similar to what they dealt with:

 

“This paper uses Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science (WoS)—including the Science Citation Index Expanded, the Social Sciences Citation Index and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index—transformed into a relational database optimized for bibliometric analysis. On the whole, 44,483,425 documents are analyzed for the 1973–2013 period, which include all document types published by various journals. In addition to indexing authors’ names, addresses and cited references, which are the units of analysis typically used in bibliometric studies, the WoS indexes the name, city and country of the publisher of the journal for each issue. Using this information, which changes over time, we are thus able to assign journals and papers to a publisher and see the evolution of journal ownership. One limitation of this source of data is that it does not index all of the world’s scientific periodicals but only those indexed in the WoS, which meet certain quality criteria such as peer review and which are the most cited in their respective disciplines. Hence, this analysis is not based on the entire scientific publication ecosystem but, rather, on the subset of periodicals that are most cited and most visible internationally.”

 

Best,

 

Ian

I sent this idea to Laura directly, and forgot I should share it with the other list members.

 

Sorry.

 

Several other librarians have made some good suggestions.

 

This is more of a longshot approach………..but if you identified the foreign publishers [ie Elsevier, etc] you might research their website looking for the names of what were probably ‘originally’ published in the US.

 

Ex. search for the word ‘american’ or ‘america’ or ‘united states’ at a publisher website might give some results, which could then be researched via Ulrichs [which I do  not have access to]. You might find both journals that contain ‘american’ in the title, but also journals that represent certain ‘american’ societies/organizations that have that word in their name.

 

There will be plenty that were US, but do not use ‘american’ in the journal name, but it could be a start. Not sure what other words would be likely to indicate the country of origin for the journal.

If you have specific journals or publishers, this is a good resource - http://etas.jusp.mimas.ac.uk/search/.

Hi,

Forwarding a question from a colleague to the list below. I’m not sure if there is a neat, all-in-one-place list of this sort. Ulrich’s might be of help, but maybe not. Ideas?

~Scott

Hi all -- 

 

I need to do some serials research.  Basically I'm interested in developing a list of US-published journals (for instance, scholarly society journals) that used to be published in US but were absorbed / bought / published by non-US publishers (such as Elsevier).  Do you have any idea how I could do this?  Would Ulrich's be helpful?  Or is there some tool like that?

 

Laura
