How is JURN’s total number of ejournals calculated? Well, it’s a number that’s been built up incrementally since the beta. But a rough checking calculation at Jan 2011 would go something like this:—<\/p>\n
* 2,580<\/strong> non-duplicate English-language titles, as listed in the 2,700-link JURN Directory. That would give a grand total of about 5,200 titles indexed.<\/p>\n However, if only<\/em> those titles that carry at least some<\/em> English articles are to be counted, then the calculation is more like: 2,580<\/strong> English titles + 620<\/strong> known partly-English + another 700<\/strong> unknown partly-English titles hidden among the total at Dialnet \/ Redalyc, et al = 3,900<\/strong>.<\/p>\n * Indexing Dialnet does bring in some article record pages that don’t contain links to full-text. JURN indexes Dialnet via three URLs that bring in: i) just the main index pages for journals (not the TOC pages), ii) full-text PDF articles hosted on Dialnet, and iii) article record pages. The latter may or may not contain links to full-text (I estimate about a one-in-six chance of full-text from a Dialnet record, in arts and humanities searches). However, for those searching for English search-terms, this is unlikely to flood the search results with masses of records that only contain citations \/ abstracts. I think it’s a price worth paying, when weighed against the wealth of full-text material that it can bring in for a searcher.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How is JURN’s total number of ejournals calculated?

\n* Around 620<\/strong> marginal ‘partly in English’ titles that I didn’t enter in the English-language JURN Directory, and yet which are not on Revues \/ Persee \/ Dialnet \/ Cairn since they’re not in Spanish\/French.
\n* 2,792 Spanish titles in the arts and humanities and ‘philologies’, as currently indexed via Dialnet. 1,367 titles on Dialnet currently have full-text, and perhaps 600<\/strong> of these offer articles relevant to the arts and humanities. *<\/sup>
\n* 105<\/strong> older French titles on Persee.
\n* 274 titles on Revues, perhaps 260<\/strong> if a handful of geography titles and ‘collections’ are discounted.
\n* Around 250<\/strong> relevant titles via the Hungarian central index.
\n* Around 180<\/strong> relevant French titles via Cairn.
\n* Around 250<\/strong> humanities titles from the Central America region via Redalyc.
\n* Around 170<\/strong> arts and humanities titles in Portuguese, via Livre.
\n* Perhaps another 200<\/strong> (perhaps more) non-English titles from various national amalgamation services such as those in Serbia, Taiwan, Singapore, Mexico, Catalonia, etc.<\/p>\n
