Citation Analysis as a Tool to Measure the Impact of Individual Research Consultations 2012-05-01 16 .pdf application/pdf 7836 360 50 Young and Ackerson30 analyzed student papers in two groups receiving different types of library instruction and noted no differ- ence in citation behavior in four out of five cases, while Hurst and Leonard31 found that those exposed to additional library instruction used and cited more library resources. However, it should be acknowledged that, although common in practice, some researchers criticize the calculation of a mean and standard deviation on data obtained from Likert type scales where initial ratings could be considered ordinal in nature, arguing that other statistical measures may be more appropriate.53 Correlations and Number of Sources Used Correlations between various character- istics of student papers are interesting to consider, but the values reported here do not appear to have much practical application. cache/crl-16230.pdf txt/crl-16230.txt
