Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article investigates the importance of journal titles in the area of Management and Economics at the University of Lethbridge in southern Alberta, Canada. Not wanting to rely solely on usage data, the author undertook a citation analysis to see which journals were most frequently published in by the university's authors. The results showed that usage data does not tell the whole story when it comes to a journal's importance to an institution. The analysis also illuminated publishers providing journals which were most frequently used.
