Tracking UCSF Research Now Easier
The Library is pleased to announce a new web page that helps you track UCSF research patterns, whether you're an author wanting to know how often you've been cited or a research officer wanting to know where UCSF authors publish.
We receive these kinds of questions frequently, and designed this page in light of UCSF community interest. It includes sample graphics for an author and UCSF as a whole, as well as online tutorials that show how to conduct these searches in Scopus and Web of Science. We hope you find it helpful. Please let us know what you think.

Journals Being Considered for Cancellation
Due to significant budget cuts across the UC system, the UCSF Library must cut online journal titles more aggressively than in the past. Journal subscription costs represent the single largest amount of the Library's collection budget. For 2011, the UC Library system is coordinating a review of several publisher journal packages that are up for renewal in order to bring costs down.
The goal of the review is to identify low-use, low-impact journals for cancellation while preserving high quality journals and those that serve unique programs. For the titles that are selected for cancellation, content from previous years will still be accessible online.
Publisher packages being reviewed this year are SAGE, Springer, and Nature Publishing Group (NPG). Please be sure to read the news about the situation that UC is facing with NPG. In addition to online journals, the Library is also recommending a select group of print journals for cancellation.
