| Abstract: | Brookes' Model, based on traditional Bradford's approach, as a quantification method, has some loopholes which can be overcome by ranking journals considering both productivity and subscription cost. This paper reports such a study. The major findings are 1) This method is a further improvement and rationalization of Brooke’s method and traditional Bradford's approach. 2) There is a steady decrease in the value of Rupee in terms of yield of relevant papers and thus journal acquisition reaches the point of diminishing returns at a certain stage. 3) There is a significant difference in the two ranked lists. |
