A citation analysis of specialty dissertations in Hormozgan University of medical sciences
Message:
Abstract:
Introduction
Citation analysis is a branch of bibliometrics in which information needs of users of a particular library can be assessed and therefore it can be used as a tool in a library collection building. This study was conducted on cited references of specialty dissertations in order to determine the reference type, their half life and language.
Methods
Citation analysis on all the 55 specialty dissertations submitted to Hormozgan university of medical sciences (HUMS) during 1997-2003 was conducted. Information on each cited reference, including reference type, date of publication, and language were recorded. The results were compared to the central library collection.
Results
As expected, English journals were the most heavily cited format: 57% of all citations were English journal articles followed closely by English textbooks with 25.08%. According to Bradford law core journals in this study were 4 titles out of 236 journals which accounted for more than 16% of cited references. Most cited references were in English (95.18%), and 4.19% of them were in Persian. Overall, the half life of the cited references was 8 years.
Conclusion
Lack of enough cited references in Persian may be due to the absence of Persian abstraction and indexing systems. By preparing a few numbers of journals, residents would have access to a large number of the articles that they need.
