Determining the costs of journals used in support of federally sponsored research.
As a part of Medical University negotiations with the federal government regarding indirect cost rate, the library staff attempted to determine how much of current journal expenditures went to support federally sponsored research in 1982. We compiled a list of research journals for review by the library's Research Collection Development Committee and studied citations in MUSC faculty journal publications that acknowledged federal research support. A comparison of the Research Collection List and the file of referenced journals indicated that at least 30% of the library's current journals could be considered to be supporting federally sponsored research.
