Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in publication 
and citation in library and information science journals over a decade 
(1994-2004) of the literature. This examination revealed the areas of 
concentration within the research, frequently published subjects through 
the years, and the characteristics of the top-cited authors and resources 
during this time. This information allows those in the field to follow the 
trends in publication, gives researchers the tools to determine which 
journals might give their work the most exposure and recognition, and can 
help libraries to make collection management decisions in this subject 
area.
