Long-Term Literary E-Zine Stability: A Predictive Model
Jen Stevens, Sarah K. McCord · Technical Services Quarterly · 2005
In a previous article, Stevens discussed the importance of e-zines to libraries and outlined a study to determine if there were factors that correlated with e-zine longevity. In this article, Stevens and McCord present an analysis of the data from that study and discuss several factors that correlated with e-zine longevity. They also present a predictive model of five key criteria that predicted the stability of 100 of the 116 stable e-zines in the study and excluded all of the unstable and dormant e-zines.
