Covering the field of scientific journals in the life sciences, this book adopts a strong biological and historical approach to explain their current variety. Written to aid those who see their budgets growing smaller while the price of serials increases, this guide describes the life science journals through the research traditions that have given birth to them. The leading titles are compared and contrasted indicating competitive advantages and relative cost efficiency. The chapters are illustrated with graphs for use in comparative evaluation. This book should prove of interest to science librarians, as well as to academic and public librarians responsible for acquisitions and serials management.
