Abstract

With the growth of e-resources including e-journals, the log analysis has increasingly been used as a valid research method. Although it is useful to grasp (understand) the user behaviors that analyzing the usage log data with its comprehensive record of user access, it is difficult to explore the users' intention or motivation. So the combination with other methods is desirable. Bearing different characteristics from citation data, the log data also have come to draw the attention in the field of bibliometrics. However, it's not suitable for research assessment because intentional data manipulation can be easily performed. In Japan, unlike some other countries, large-scale log analysis studies on e-journals have not yet been carried out, which remains a task to be addressed in future.
