Citation analysis of doctoral dissertations at IIMA: a review of the local use of journals
Abstract
This study analyzes the citations of the 49 doctoral dissertations submitted at the Indian
Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, during the period 2004 to 2009. The study reveals that
journals are the most cited sources, and based on the pattern of citations, a local ranking list of
journals has been developed. The study applies Bradford's law to identify the groups of journals
differentiated by their use. Results indicated that the top 48 journals that were ranked among
the 30 most used journals contributed to more than 55% of the journal citations
