A zero-one goal programming approach for the journal selection and cancellation problem

Abstract The problem of choosing a set of journals to order or to cancel is compounded by the existence of conflicting criteria, such as cost of the journal, demand for the journal, and the rating of the journal. This paper describes a zero-one goal programming approach that can consider all of these conflicting criteria and provide a satisficing solution. A GP model for an illustrative case is developed and used to solve a university library's journal cancellation problem.
