An Alternative View of Citation Patterns of Quantitative Literature Cited by Business and Economic Researchers

Alireza Tahai and G. Wayne Kelly

The Journal of Economic Education, 1996, vol. 27, issue 3, 263-275

Abstract: The authors examine the distribution of elapsed time between published research papers and the literature they reference in quantitative business-oriented journals indexed by the Journal of Economic Literature . This distribution is better approximated by the generalized gamma distribution than by the exponential distribution. A ranking of journals based upon actual frequencies of article citations is also provided.
