چکیده

409 As Chair of the ACRL Publications Coordinating Committee for the last two years, I have taken a keen interest in the policies and procedures of the division’s research journal, College & Research Libraries. Published since 1939, C&RL has established itself as a leading journal in academic librarianship and is important for the new knowledge it brings to our profession as well as the prestige it bestows on our association. Like all scholarly journals, C&RL has to adapt to the new and changing networked environment of scholarly communications. As academic librarians, we have watched and influenced changes in scholarly communications in other fields, but when it comes to our own journals, we can more directly experience the controversies and hard decisions involved in changing time honored publishing policies and procedures. We have seen changes in C&RL policies and procedures that do take advantage of the networked environment. An online version of the journal has been available since 1997. Three years ago, the journal instituted a pre-publication service to make accepted manuscripts available online without formal publication delays. C&RL authors now own the copyright to their articles and can post them to institutional repositories. The online journal is hosted and backed up by Highwire Press, ensuring reliable access and digital preservation. And just two issues ago, the journal went open access, making all online issues of the journal freely available to readers around the world. This is good progress, but there are always more changes to consider. Should the journal continue to issue a print edition? Are the content and services of the journal serving contemporary readers well? And what about back issues of the journal, from C&RL Readership Survey

Automatic Terminology Intelligibility Estimation for Readership-oriented Technical Writing

This paper describes automatic terminology intelligibility estimation for readership-oriented technical writing. We assume that the term frequency weighted by the types of documents can be an indicator of the term intelligibility for a certain readership. From this standpoint, we analyzed the relationship between the following: average intelligibility levels of 46 technical terms that were rate...
