“…However, Fuchs et al (2016) showed that students of the Departments of Civil Engineering and Educational Psychology (2001-2012) cited more of journal articles. In a different finding, Nkiko and Adetoro (2017) found that students of Covenant University (2011-2016) cited more of textbooks in their research projects. In this study, however, there were few citations for books and monographs.…”

“…Fuchs et al (2016) revealed that journals served as the primary source for each group followed by monographs from dissertations submitted between 2001-2012 by students of the Departments of Civil Engineering and Educational Psychology, University of Texas, at Austin in the US. Nkiko and Adetoro (2017) showed that students of these research reports cited more of textbooks of the university library from the undergraduates' projects submitted to Covenant University, Ota, Nigeria during 2011-2016. It could be inferred from this result that undergraduates may not be so familiar with journals, which are the primary sources of information.…”

“…This contradicts the findings of Yusuf and Owolabi (2017) where the most prevalent citation from their study was not recent which was not a good factor for research since one of the major assessments of good research is the recency of the materials cited. Nkiko and Adetoro (2017) in a study of pioneer bachelor's students of Covenant University, Ota showed that an average of 55.6% of the total citations made were "recent" citations, while 44.4% were "not recent" citations.…”

“…Citation analysis focuses on citation process of sources involved in scholarly communication. Some of the details covered include the author, the timeliness of cited sources, quality of the sources, frequency of cited sources and the medium (Nkiko & Adetoro, 2017). Considering the benefit of citation, it has been noted that it could be used as a tool for evaluating the citation habits of undergraduate students (Knight-Davis & Sung, 2018).…”

Citation analysis of Library and Information Science undergraduates’ research projects in Kwara State University, Malete (2013-2018). The population of the study consists of all the submitted undergraduates’ projects to the Department of Library and Information Science, Kwara State University, Malete from 2013-2018. From this population, a total of thirty-seven (37) final-year students’ projects of the Department were selected as the sample size of the study using the systematic sampling technique. Coding sheet was used to collect data. The frequency counts and simple percentages were used for the statistical analysis. The findings revealed that more than half of the citations in the projects were journal articles, one-third of the citations were conference papers, few of the citations were recent, there were no citations without author, and the highest number is seventy-seven (77) while the lowest citation in a project is eighteen (18). The following recommendations were made based on the findings. Final year students should be encouraged to consider more recent research for their projects, students should be advised cautioned against low citation as eighteen (18) in a research project, the university library should consider the acquisition and subscription to journals so as to aid the research of the students.
