Abstract:
This paper defines and examines structural biology as a subdiscipline of
molecular biology. Using bibliometric methodologies, it
analyzes the publication and citation patterns of a sample group of
structural biologists from multiple institutions. The citations
analyzed covered a very large subject range, demonstrating the
multidisciplinary nature of this subfield. The results were
consistent with several models for journal selection. These models were
used to compile a short list of specialized titles
supporting structural biology. Although the research was performed on a
relatively small group of local researchers, it has
broader applications for other institutions attempting to develop similar
collections.
