Collection-focused activities that make use of citation data include examining print versus electronic usage to determine the impact of electronic jour- nals, compiling lists of most- and least- cited journals and local holdings to make acquisition or cancellation decisions, and examining age of cited references to help develop storage and retention policies.4 There is a gap in the literature in that there is no consolidated set of guidelines or considerations on the methodology for citation analysis studies. cache/crl-16239.pdf txt/crl-16239.txt
