題名 The Relationship between Journal Use in a Medical Library and Citation Use 作者 蔡明月
Tsay, Ming-Yueh貢獻者 圖檔所 日期 1998-01 上傳時間 27-Mar-2020 15:35:35 (UTC+8) 摘要 The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between library journal use and journal citation use in the medical sciences. The six-month journal use study was conducted in the Library of the Veterans General Hospital in Taipei. The data on citation frequency and impact factors were obtained from Journal Citation Reports, 1993 microfiche edition. The study explored the use, citation, and impact factor data, especially for heavily used, highly cited, or high-impactfactor journals. The correlations between frequency of use and citation frequency and between frequency of use and impact factor were determined by using the Spearman rank and Pearson correlation tests. The same comparisons were also made within four subject categories: clinical medicine journals, life science journals, hybrid journals publishing both clinical medicine and life science papers, and journals that publish neither clinical medicine nor life science articles. The results of the study showed that there is a significant correlation between frequency of use and citation frequency, and between frequency of use and impact factor for all titles. There is also a significant correlation between frequency of use and citation frequency and between frequency of use and impact factor for journals that publish either clinical medicine or life science articles, or both. However, the correlation is not significant for other journals. 關聯 Bulletin of the Medical Library, Vol.186, No.1, pp.31-39 資料類型 article dc.contributor 圖檔所 dc.creator (作者) 蔡明月 dc.creator (作者) Tsay, Ming-Yueh dc.date (日期) 1998-01 dc.date.accessioned 27-Mar-2020 15:35:35 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 27-Mar-2020 15:35:35 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 27-Mar-2020 15:35:35 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) http://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/129182 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between library journal use and journal citation use in the medical sciences.
