This webinar will introduce a new metric for evaluating the cost effectiveness of Serials: Net Cost Per Paid Use (NCPPU). NCPPU goes beyond the standard Cost Per Use calculation to exclude free content (OA and back catalog), incorporate ILL costs, and value citation and authorship. ALCTS webinar.

9. Net Cost per Paid Use
- Why CPU?
- Why a more advanced version
of CPU?
10.
11. The purpose of the project was to
(1) identify titles for cancellation
(2) and to establish CPU for most titles ordered
individually and those within packages for
use in future contract negotiations

- download count
- citation count
- authorship count
- fraction of downloads available via alternative
access

80. You’re already
using Unpaywall
if you use:
● Web of Science
● Scopus
● ProQuest Summon
● OCLC WorldCat
● EBSCO EDS
● DS Dimensions
● Lens
● etc..
81.
82. ● Your COUNTER data
● custom data, if you have it:
backfile, price lists, etc
+
● Unpaywall OA data
● your institution’s citation and
authorship patterns
83. Creates
A model projecting costs and
fulfillment for every journal,
for the next five years, using
NCPPU as the subscription
cost-effectiveness metric.
94. We'd love it if you want to check out
the demo or subscribe, but you can
also calculate much of this yourself,
and also just think about your
subscription cost-effectiveness
differently.
95. THE MAIN GOAL:
Explain refinements to
Cost Per Use that we think make it
a better measure of subscription
cost-effectiveness
