Selection Support is a tool that combines the usage statistics collected by Scholarly Stats with price data about your subscriptions.

You can then use Selection Support to create specific, customized reports, including the ability to calculate the price per use of a subscription.

These reports will help you analyze your subscription budget and make better informed decisions for the future.

Let’s compare the two services…

Customer have to download usage statistics per publisher

Time-consuming to retrieve reports and consolidate usage statistics

Usage statistics and price information per journal or database are separated

Manual manipulation of data required to enable comparison

Situation Impact
