Abstract:
Three scholarly core journals of library and information science (LIS) were
analyzed with respect to gender of article authors and gender of authors
cited in these articles. The share of female contributors to these journals
has certainly increased during the studied period, 1980-2000. However, the
results of the quantitative citation analysis show puzzling differences
concerning female and male authors' citation practice. There may be a
gender bias in LIS publishing, even though female authors have become more
numerous. Further studies are needed to uncover the influence of other
variables, such as subject content of the articles.
