Abstract:
Use of dissertation citation analysis for collection evaluation was
investigated. Analysis of 1842 education dissertation citations from three
institutions suggests the assumption of doctoral student expertise in their
use of the scholarly literature may be overstated. For purposes of
developing research collections, dependence on dissertation citation
analyses should proceed cautiously.
