Impact factor studies to evaluate full-text database s, esp. Proquest

[Christian Schlögl]

Dear Carlos,

If I remember correctly, a similar study was conducted at the library
of  Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration.
The results of the study (in German language only) are available at
http://www.wu-wien.ac.at/bib/bilder/proquest_ebsco.pdf
For further information please refer to georg.fessler at wu-wien.ac.at

Yours,
Christian Schloegl
