Abstract

Abstract: The paper provides comparative information on the citation characteristics of theses and dissertations and research faculty publications in food science over an eleven-year period. These include: the types of publications that they cite; the age of resources; the characteristics of the journals they cite (scatter of cited journals articles, zones of cited journals, overlap of cited journals, Journal Citation Report categories, and ranking of cited journals); and the publishers of cited journals. The similarities and differences between graduate students' citation patterns (theses [Masters] and dissertations [Ph.D.]) and those of the faculty are highlighted and discussed throughout the paper.
