Citation analysis in JAERI

For purposes of the acquisition strategy the citation statistics were investigated on the articles which were published by JAERI staff in 1976, '77 and '78. The citations of 14,769 listed in the off-prints of 1,300 were analized by types of Literature, publication year, scattering, and so on. The results show that the occupation of technical reports increased and the lifetime became longer compared with the results of fifteen years ago. The journal ranking list is the important material for the acquisition of journals in our library. (author)
