Abstract
AbstractWe analyse the relationship between downloads of electronic journals included in four big deal bundles subscribed to by public university libraries affiliated to two library consortia in Spain (Castile and León and Galicia) and citations of the same journals by researchers at these universities. Download data on the big deals analysed (Emerald, ScienceDirect, Springer and Wiley) were obtained from COUNTER Journal Reports 1, and citation data were obtained from the bibliographic references given in articles indexed in Scopus between 2010 and 2017. The results show that only a low percentage of the subscribed journals was used in the scientific output of the universities’ researchers, with values ranging from 15 to 50%, and that there was a strong correlation between the universities’ volume of scientific production and the percentage of cited journals. We also found a strong correlation between downloads and citations, which was higher in the case of universities with a higher scientific output.

Abstract
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.
