Abstract:

Addressing the question of what distinguishes the scholarly journal reading characteristics of engineers, the authors present results and insights from ongoing surveys. They find that peer-reviewed articles, both in print and online, are an important source of high-quality information for engineers in their work; that the average number of articles read each year is increasing; and that engineers read fewer articles but spend more time on each than do scientists.
