HÁBITOS DE CONSUMO Y SATISFACCIÓN CON LAS REVISTAS ELECTRÓNICAS DE LOS INVESTIGADORES DE LAS UNIVERSIDADES DE COIMBRA, LEÓN Y PORTO

This is a study of the behavior, preferences and level of satisfaction of the academic communities of the Universities of Coimbra, Porto and Leon in relation to the use of electronic journals.  With this aim, data and opinions from faculty undertaking research in differents fields of knowledge were gathered during surveys carried out in 2012. Frequent, intense use was noted, this being fundamentally directed towards research tasks.  The average number of articles consulted per year was considerable, with clear differences being visible between the fields of Humanities, Social Sciences and Life and Health Sciences.  The number of journal titles consulted regularly by faculty was found to be an average of almost ten, results that exceed the threshold found in other works.
