What do UK academics cite? An analysis of references cited in UK scholarly outputs
journal contribution
posted on 2013-10-31, 14:09 authored by Claire Creaser, Charles Oppenheim, Mark SummersThis study used a bibliometric method to find quantitative evidence of publication and citing patterns within UK academia. The publications of a random sample of UK research—active academics for each of the years 2003 and 2008—were collected and analysed to gather data regarding referencing practices, along with any identifiable trends between the 2 years. References were categorised by type of material to show the proportions of each type used. Comparisons between the 2 years showed that the use of journal articles had increased. There was also an increase in the average number of publications per author. A large number of authors had no publications in the target years
