Abstract
Web 2.0 technologies are blazing a trail into science: specialized social bookmarking services allow researchers to store and share literature online [SHNEIDERMAN, 2008]. In science 2.0, academics generate information about resources, i.e. description and usage. Since publishers deny access to global download statistics, we propose the application of social bookmarking data to journal evaluation: the number of bookmarks could function as an alternative indicator of journal usage. Tags assigned to the articles reveal the readers' perspectives on the journal content.
