Abstract:
Because of the importance to the academic community of shared research
through publication, information specialists have developed mechanisms to
identify important articles. One accepted method is citation analysis, where
the use of an author's work is tracked by counting subsequent citations to
that work. The development of Web-based scholarly journals offers new tools,
such as server logs, for tracking an article's use and distribution. This
paper explores the potential of server logs as sources of information to
reveal distribution levels of individual articles. A new model is proposed
for designating a work of significant scholarly impact, the "classic"
article.
