“…Strothmann's results indicate that, in addition to Social Work journals, a list of core Social Work journals should also include specific journal titles in psychiatry, psychology, medicine, and law. 17 On the other hand, working with citations from the History of Technology, Katherine McCain reports that 65 percent of citations are to books and 35 percent are to serials. 9 For instance, the Nation and the New York Times both are cited by more than 44 percent of the scholars studied by Weissinger. In addition, some studies use citation analysis to assess the interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary nature of a particular social sciences field, with the aim of informing collection development, library instruction, and the acquisition of indexing tools.…”

LGBT Studies as an area of scholarship emerged from the gay rights activist movement of the 1960s and 1970s, the field's literature appears to be firmly rooted in the mainstream academic literature rather than in popular publications or community and activist periodicals. However, the field has a very high rate of cross-disciplinary citation and cites particularly heavily from medical journals and books. In addition to illuminating the citation characteristics of LGBT Studies, this paper presents lists of highly cited books and journals that should prove useful for subject librarians supporting LGBT Studies programs.he field of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Studies is relatively new, having entered higher education only in the early 1970s with a small number of course offerings at the University of California at Berkeley, the City College of San Francisco (CCSF), the University of Nebraska, and a few other colleges and universities. The first degree programs were created in the late 1980s at the City University of New York and CCSF.1 Even today, LGBT Studies courses are not ubiquitous on college and university campuses, but the field is entering the academic mainstream, with undergraduate course offerings at many colleges and universities, certificate programs at dozens, degree programs at a few, and an endowed professorship at Harvard University.2 A few programs also have been developed in the United Kingdom and central Europe.3 Furthermore, strong graduate certificate programs at institutions such as Yale University, Indiana University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Michigan have begun producing new scholars whose "home field" is LGBT Studies.4 This is a contrast to previous decades, when crl-285

“…CINAHL has improved coverage of the core journals of physical therapy, especially for those in Zone 1. However, when looking at the coverage for Zones 1 and 2 in the current study, Scopus provided the strongest cover- [20], in an update of the mapping of the health education literature, found that percentages of journals in the core (Zones 1 and 2) remained stable. The present study, likewise, was comparable with the percentage in each zone in the Wakiji study [10].…”

“…As noted by Potter [20], updates of previous bibliometric studies give a ''fresh snapshot, a redrawn map'' for a discipline's literature. In journal publications in the field of physical therapy, journals were cited (83% of citations) more frequently than books or other types of documents.…”

“…In previous studies that mapped the literature of public health, journal articles were cited around 60%-75% of the time, with books, government documents, and miscellaneous items cited less often but still relatively frequently [13,[26][27][28][29]. The only similar ratio of cited publication types in public health disciplines is in environmental health, where 85.5% of citations were to journal articles [30].…”
