“…The association results revealed that library training courses were positively associated with scholarly publications and e-journal access among the non-physicians group. The potential reason is that culture and resources differ among medical professions or by training level (Anasuya, 2017; Jean and Felbaum, 2019; Mohd Zain et al , 2015). For example, physicians are able to learn submission-related skills from colleagues (Dasgupta et al , 2017), whereas other medical professionals tend to participate in library training courses to obtain such skills.…”

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a digital medical library, including department-based electronic journal access, library training course participation and scholarly publications. Design/methodology/approach The data on full-text electronic journal access, participants of library training courses and scholarly publications were exported from a digital medical library database during 2017–2021. In addition, electronic journal access and library training courses were divided into high-level and low-level groups, while scholarly publications were divided into physician and non-physician groups. Findings The scholarly publications had a positive correlation to library training courses and electronic journal access. Furthermore, scholarly publications showed a significant difference between the high-level and low-level electronic journal access groups but not between the high-level and low-level library training course groups. Scholarly publications and electronic journal access had positive correlations for both the physician and non-physician groups. Scholarly publications and library training courses, and electronic journal access and library training courses had positive correlations only in the non-physician group. Practical implications The importance of electronic journal access for scholarly publications is suggested based on the findings of the present study. The training courses held by the medical library had a positive effect on scholarly publications for the non-physician group. Originality/value The current study provides insights relevant to the electronic journal access of library-supported scholarly publications among medical departments. These results can serve as a reference for medical library development planning and decision-making in the future.
