Abstract:
Thirty-three undergraduate student papers in biology that were presented at
an annual symposium of undergraduate research at the University of Denver
from 2000 through 2002 were evaluated. There were a total of 770 citations
with an average of 23.3 citations per paper. It was determined that 76.2% of
the citations came from journal articles, 16.4% came from books or book
chapters, 6.4% were to other miscellaneous sources, and only 1.0% were to
Web sites. Other findings include the top cited journals, the oldest cited
journal articles, the average age and range of books and journals, the types
of miscellaneous sources cited, and the stability of the cited Web sites.
