- Dissertation Citations in Organismal Biology at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale: Implications for Collection Development Nabe, Jonathan Imre, Andrea Doctoral Dissertations Botany Academic Libraries Biology Electronic Journals Library Services Citation Analysis Zoology Evaluation We report on a citation analysis of Ph.D. dissertations in plant biology and zoology at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, undertaken to test the common assumption that scientists favor current research to such an extent that journal backfiles can be de-emphasized in academic library collections. Results demonstrate otherwise. The study is reproducible for any institution, and can help to evaluate 1) the value of electronic journal backfiles and 2) the need to maintain print backfiles. (Contains 2 figures and 3 tables.)
