JVP Data Set 2001 & 2004 Warwick, Travis; Wixson, Emily; Rouse, Ken The Journal Value Project created a database of cost and valuation data for journals in all areas of the sciences and social sciences. Utilizing Henry ("Heinz") Barschall's method of approximating the number of characters in a given volume of a Journal, the project collected character count data for 2142 academic journals for the years 2001 and 2004. By dividing the number of characters per page by the journal's cost and again by the ISI Impact Factor, an index is created which can be used to compare the relative value of similar journals. This index is referred to as the Barschall Factor.

SLA Annual Conference 2003 Warwick, Travis This piece of the program focused on a journal value project conducted at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. In the tradition of Henry Barschall's work in the late 1980's, cost per character data was collected for 1520 journals. Dividing a journal's cost per 1000 characters by its ISI Impact Factor provides a more comprehensive measure of its value than cost or Impact Factor alone can offer. Because this method of evaluation could benefit all librarians, the data collected will be made publicly available through a web-based database later this year. It is expected that future collaboration with interested institutions will update and expand the database to include a broader list of titles over an extended number of years.
