Title: Has government information on the Internet affected citation
patterns? A case study of population studies journals

Source: JOURNAL OF GOVERNMENT INFORMATION, 29 (6): 392-401 NOV-DEC 2002

Abstract: To examine scholars' use of government information in electronic
format, the author studied issues of four population studies journals for
the years 1990 and 2000 to determine citation patterns to government
information. The total number of citations to government documents increased
during this 10-year period, although the proportion of government citations
decreased in relationship to the total number of citations. Only one journal
studied showed an increase in citations to government information sources;
it was also the only journal with a significant number of citations to
electronic government information. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
