Most-Used Physics Journals

This is a list of the most heavily-used Kline Science Library journals in the physical sciences. Inclusion is based on cited titles in Journal Citation Reports 1994 (JCR) plus use in Kline during a two-month study in 1996. Inclusion in either the JCR lists or the Kline usage study list is weighted equally.

A comprehensive list of Kline Science Library journals is ONLY found using the ORBIS online catalog.

Journals are assumed to be available electronically, unless an asterisk (*) appears beside the title.
