An analysis of management and economics journals at the University of Lethbridge: beyond usage data

Abstract

This article investigates the importance of journal titles in the area of Management and Economics at the University of Lethbridge in southern Alberta, Canada. Not wanting to rely solely on usage data, the author undertook a citation analysis to see which journals were most frequently published in by the institution’s authors. The analysis also illuminated publishers providing journals which were most frequently used. Other business libraries may be interested to replicate the analysis in their own libraries as well as to see the results from this mid-sized academic library.
