Abstract:
This article reports on the Web citation behavior of print and electronic
thesis authors at Iowa State and Virginia Tech from 1997 to 2003. Citations
from print theses were compared with those submitted as an electronic thesis
or dissertation (ETD). This study suggests that students who are required to
publish their theses digitally exhibit citation behavior that is no
different from students who produce their theses in print. Web citations
accounted for 2.2 percent of citations in print theses and 5.4 percent of
citations in ETDs. Persistence of Web citations was uniformly poor. The
implications for library services and future research directions are discussed.
