Several bibliometric techniques previously applied to separate scientific literatures were used together in the analysis of a single corpus of journal articles relating to information science. Techniques included were: Bradford Analysis, epidemic analysis, identification of research front, and bibliographic coupling. (16 references) (Author)

This study identifies the amount of duplication among the lists of primary journals regularly monitored by the BioSciences Information Service of Biological Abstracts, the Chemical Abstracts Service and Engineering Index, Inc. (4 references) (SJ)

The interrelationships of the branches of the sciences and technology are analyzed by means of linkages derived from the listing of journals under more than one subject category in the list Source Journals Arranged by Category'' from the Science Citation Index'', 1970. (4 references) (Author)

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that economic analysis can be useful in modeling the scientific journal market. Of particular interest is the efficiency of pricing and page policies. To calculate loses due to inefficiencies, demand parameters are statistically estimated and used in a discussion of market efficiency. (3 references)…

The journal citations in "A Bibliography on Information Science and Technology" provide the data for this Bradford graphical analysis. (Author)

Twenty short versions of articles from Engineering Synopses and the corresponding original articles were compared for ease of reading. The synopses were found to be significantly more difficult to read. (Author/MBR)

Journal Log In is a computer on-line system for checking in periodicals. Used in conjunction with an IBM system called IQRP (Interactive Query Report Processing), it permits a serials librarian to use shortened commands coupled with a CODEN for ease in logging in periodicals. (Author)

A cluster analysis procedure is described in which 288 journals in the disciplines of physics, chemistry and molecular biology are grouped into clusters. Tabulation of citings to and from each journal processed provides the basis for clustering. (18 references) (Author/RS)

The findings of this investigation are based upon an analysis of actual use data recorded from all volumes and issues left by library users on study tables and on trucks in the photocopy area. (27 references) (Author/SJ)

Reports results of a study on "case-control" matching using citation counts of 46 papers by Israeli academic economists compared with those of matched controls by American authors. Methodological and technical issues are highlighted. Sixteen references are provided. (EJS)

Citation data of 16 biochemistry and plant physiology journals show that reasons for lower citation potentials of plant physiology articles are: (1) readership is narrower for plant physiology journals; (2) plant physiologists can cite fewer thematically relevant new articles; and (3) plant physiology research fields are more isolated.

Examines the quantity and citation rates of Canadian scientific journals. (PF)

A preliminary investigation which revealed the omission of four full length articles on rheumatology from Index Medicus'' is reported upon. Further investigations are in progress and will be reported at a later date. (Author/SJ)

Presents a study of journal title elements as represented in eight databases, and describes four measures developed to show the extent of standardization within a database and some of its implications for searching. (FM)

Presents a method based on a constrained optimization technique that determines the time of removal of scientific periodicals from the shelf of a library. A geometrical interpretation of the theoretical result is given, and a numerical example illustrates how the technique is applicable to real bibliographic data. (FM)
