Ulrich's Periodicals Directory is the standard library directory and database providing information about popular and academic magazines, scientific journals, newspapers and other serial publications. [1]
The print version has been published since 1932, and was founded by Carolyn Ulrich, chief of the periodicals division of the New York Public Library [2] as Periodicals Directory: A Classified Guide to a Selected List of Current Periodicals Foreign and Domestic.
It is now also supplied on-line as Ulrichsweb, which provides web-based and Z39.50 linking to library catalogs.
Coverage is international, with some emphasis on English-language publications. The information is derived from the publishers and verified by the journal. It includes
- ISSN
- Title and previous titles
- Starting date, place of publication, and publisher
- cost, availability of electronic versions, subscription terms, and approximate circulation as estimated by the publisher
- subject information, searchable as subject terms or approximate Dewey Classification,special features, and indexinging information
- Indications of whether the publication is available on open access
- indication of whether the publication is peer-reviewed, interpreted to include professional magazines with equivalent editorial control of quality
It is published by CSA (formerly known as Cambridge Scientific Abstracts), now a division of Proquest-CSA which in turn is now a subsidiary of Cambridge Information Group.
