A snapshot of research activity in Turkey and submissions to Cambridge Journals Jack Macdonald Senior Sales Development Manager

Publishing Turkish research since 1952

Questions… Which universities are producing submissions to Cambridge Journals? Do submissions correspond to usage? Do submissions correspond to overall research ratings? How do Turkish submissions compare to submissions from other countries? What are the acceptance rates, and how do they compare?

Cambridge Journals Over 330 titles in 2015, with many new titles in 2016 and beyond Traditional strengths in Humanities & Social Sciences, and highly rated areas of STM Digital Archive Emphasis is on quality rather than quantity

The dataset: a snapshot, not the full picture Reviewing submissions from only 11 journals Journals with high submission numbers, not necessarily the most usage or highest impact factor Some sectors of research generate more activity and submissions than others STM bias in this sub-set of content

Points for discussion As well as the ‘normal’ role of librarianship, is the scholarly output of your institution something you measure? Is the destination of scholarly submissions from your institution something you track? What other information from publishers would be useful or interesting?
