    Se indaga en la utilidad de las revistas electrónicas de los big deals contratados por las universidades públicas de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León (Universidad de Burgos, Universidad de León, Universidad de Salamanca y Universidad de Valladolid) a partir del análisis de las descargas y citas realizadas por sus investigadores. El análisis se circunscribe a la producción científica presente en Scopus en la categoría Library & Information Science (LIS) durante el periodo 2011-2017 y a las estadísticas de descargas que Emerald, IEEExplore, ScienceDirect, Springer y Wiley han proporcionado a las cuatro universidades públicas. Los resultados muestran que las revistas de LIS se adscriben además a otras categorías y, por tanto, recogen una investigación pluridisciplinar. Los investigadores de Documentación no colaboran, sin embargo, de manera extensiva con otras disciplinas. Se confirma que los proveedores analizados distribuyen títulos que interesan a las comunidades académicas investigadas, aunque las preferencias no son homogéneas. Se constata, finalmente, la correlación entre descargas y citas lo que demuestra que ambas métricas sirven para identificar las revistas prioritarias para los académicos.

    The usefulness of the electronic journals from the big deals subscribed by the public universities of the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León (University of Burgos, University of León, University of Salamanca and University of Valladolid) is investigated based on the analysis of downloads and citations made by their researchers. The analysis is limited to the scientific production present in Scopus in the Library & Information Science (LIS) category during the period 2011-2017 and to download statistics that Emerald, IEEExplore, ScienceDirect, Springer and Wiley have provided to the four public universities. The results show that LIS journals also belong to other categories and, therefore, collect multidisciplinary research. However, Information Science researchers do not collaborate extensively with other disciplines. It is confirmed that the analyzed providers distribute titles that interest the academic communities investigated, although the preferences are not homogeneous. Finally, the correlation between downloads and citations is verified, which shows that both metrics serve to identify the priority journals for academics.
