Summary
This study collects and analyzes the usage counts of twenty journals from Springer and Web of Science, finding that compared with the pay-for-access WoS, users prefer to visit publisher websites by the free, convenient and quick routes, such as bookmarks or general search engines and that Springer usage counts have better stratification in disciplines than WoS usage counts.
