Information interactions between members of science‐profession dyads as reflected by journal use: Ichthyology and fisheries biology

Abstract: The science‐profession dyad of ichthyology and fisheries biology was examined through a citation analysis of the journal literature. It was found that these two fields overlap greatly in journals cited. Further, it was found that ichthyologists tended to cite more sources with a greater proportion of these citations to journals, more foreign journals, and a greater diversity of journal sources than did fisheries biologists. Also, investigators holding academic positions in both disciplines tended to cite a greater diversity of journals than did those employed by government agencies. Despite differences in citation behavior, there seems to be at least some exchange of information within this dyad. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
