Abstract: This paper analyzes the bibliographic references made by all papers 
published by ACM in 2006. Both an automatic classification of all references and 
a human classification of a random sample of them resulted that around 40% of 
the references are to conference proceedings papers, around 30% are to 
journal papers, and around 8% are to books. Among the other types of 
documents. standards and RFC correspond to 3% of the references, technical 
and other reports correspond to 4%, and other Web references to 3%. Among 
the documents cited at least 10 times by the 2006 ACM papers, 41% are 
conferences papers, 37% are books, and 16% are journal papers. (C) 2010
