Abstract:
Although information gathering and use patterns in the traditional print
environment have been studied for many years, the electronic environment
presents a new and
relatively unexplored area for such study This article describes a citation
analysis of research articles from scholarly electronic journals published
in 1999-2000. The
analysis focused on the extent to which scholars are using electronic
resources and the types and subject areas of online resources that are being
referenced. Results
indicate a growing reliance on electronic resources by scholars, a high
occurrence of nontraditional types of resources, and a relatively high use
of interdisciplinary
references.
