Problems of citation analysis: A critical review

Michael H. MacRoberts and Barbara R. MacRoberts

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1989, vol. 40, issue 5, 342-349

Abstract: We review the problems of citation analysis. Most of them have either not been studied or have received only cursory attention. Since major error results when these problems are not taken into account, users of citation‐based literature should proceed cautiously. © 1989 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
