I believe I have seen something called a “Statement of Ownership, Management and Circulation (Required by 39 U.S.C. 3BBS)” in several journals and magazines. I believe this statement includes the circulation for the title. Just Google the term and you will see a lot of journals have them. If you are lucky, maybe the journal you are asking about has one as well. I don’t know for sure but maybe this has to be printed in the publication annually.

Subject: [SERIALST] Number of subscribers to a print journal

Hello,

I'm a long-time SERIALST reader, first-time emailer, and still fairly new to the world of serials.

Can anyone direct me to a resource that would indicate the number of individuals and/or institutions that subscribe to a print journal? We are trying to find out the number of current subscribers to the Journal of School Leadership (ISSN: 1052-6846). We did not find this statistic in Ulrich's, the title is not in the MLA Directory of Periodicals, and I could not find this info on the publisher's site. Information about the title is in EBSCONET (our primary serials vendor), but no subscription stats are listed there. I emailed the publisher, but so far no response.

I would appreciate any other suggestions on where I might find this info.

Thanks,

Chrissy Karafit
