crl-15748	Leiding, Reba	Using Citation Checking of Undergraduate Honors Thesis Bibliographies to Evaluate Library Collections	2005-09-01	14	.pdf	application/pdf	7653	330	59	Predictably, the highest percentage of journal citations was in the sciences (58.8%) and second highest in the social sciences (46.2%), whereas journal citation use in the hu- manities was low at 12.6 percent. Further, citation checking of research documents and comparison of those citations with the availability of materials in a local collection offers an unobtrusive and cost-effective method of evaluating that collection’s ability to support research.2,3 As Smith’s and Robert N. Broadus’s literature reviews noted, citation check- ing is a time-honored and well-studied method for determining the usefulness of collections.4,5 It is part of a broad category known as citation studies, defined by Paul H. Mosher as “any specific methodologies that use source citations or references drawn from the scholarly apparatus of articles and books as the basis for manipu- lation, research, and study.”6	cache/crl-15748.pdf	txt/crl-15748.txt
