Abstract: This study analyzes and compares the journal citation data on 
education, library and information science, and management, based on 
information from SSCI Journal Citation Reports (2004), a subscription-based 
database. The correlation between each of the fifteen pairs of source items 
and five kinds of citation data-citation count, impact factor, immediacy 
index, citing half-fife, and cited half-fife-are examined based on the 
Pearson correlation tests.

The Fisher's z-transform is employed to test the significant difference 
between the Pearson correlation coefficient for each pair of citation data 
from the three subject areas. The significance of mean difference of each 
citation data was examined by t test. The similarities and differences in 
citation data among the three subjects are identified.
