| contents | Journal Use by Graduate Students as Indicated by Master's Theses Bibliographies at an Urban Commuter College, 1991-2004 Sexton, Ellen Commuter Colleges Urban Schools Masters Theses Graduate Students Citations (References) Criminals Justice Psychology Behavioral Science Research Access to Information Periodicals Reputation Electronic Journals Journal Articles College Libraries Citation analyses were carried out on master's theses in three disciplines: forensic psychology, forensic science, and criminal justice, completed and deposited in the John Jay College Library from 1991 to 2004. The aim was to determine the effect of availability of electronic journals on students' choice of references. The number of journal citations and the ratio of journal articles to all citations were assessed. Criminal justice theses listed more citations than either science or psychology theses, but relatively fewer journal articles. An increase over time was seen in the number of journal articles cited and in the ratio of journal articles to all citations only for the psychology theses. Few students identified whether the work cited was consulted in electronic or print format. (Contains 4 tables, 7 charts, and 1 note.) |
