Citation Patterns of Conference Proceedings in Master’s and Doctoral Studies: A Case Study of Information Technology and Systems

Abstract: This study reports on an analysis of the use of conference proceedings by postgraduate students at master's and doctoral levels in the field of information technology and systems at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) over a period of 10 years. The analysis was based on master's theses and doctoral dissertations submitted by the Department of Information Technology and deposited into the web-based institutional repository and involved analyzing the various references cited. The results of the st… Show more

“…First, papers published in high reputable IS and Computer Science conference proceedings that are indexed in google scholar metrics, by "h-index" in the latest five-year window [37]. Second, conference papers that are cited in articles published in leading journals [38]. Third, papers published in conferences that have high-rank Scopus's CiteScore [39].…”

“…The norms of an individual discipline vary in regard to whether it is common or even appropriate to cite some forms of grey literature-such as conference papers and posters or technical reports-which influences their inclusion or exclusion in citation analyses. A few authors have performed citation analyses that focus on conference papers (e.g., Chiware & Becker, 2018;McMinn & Fleming, 2011). In these two cases the authors had specific research questions that revolved around conference materials.…”

“…In these two cases the authors had specific research questions that revolved around conference materials. In one case (Chiware & Becker, 2018), the authors wondered about graduate student behavior regarding citations to conference materials in their own theses and dissertations in information technology. In another example (McMinn & Fleming, 2011), the authors wanted to track the influence of one engineering conference over a period of 25 years and used citations as a proxy.…”

“…Un segundo grupo de trabajos sobre escritura en posgrado estudia la intertextualidad (p.e. Badenhorst, 2019;Canata et al, 2017;Castro & Sánchez, 2016;Chiware & Becker, 2018;Salami & Olatokun, 2018;Swart, 2019). Dado que la identidad discursiva es una construcción social, analizar la intertextualidad permite adentrarse en las formas retóricas en que se posiciona el escritor (Bazerman, 2004), pues mediante las citas que incorpora adhiere con determinadas líneas teóricas y epistemológicas, toma distancia de otras propuestas o incluso se opone.…”

“…más citados por los estudiantes de postgrado (p.e. Canata et al, 2017;Chiware & Becker, 2018;Salami & Olatokun, 2018;Swart, 2019), mientras otras contabilizan frecuencias y distinguen entre estilo -directo e indirecto-e integración (p.e. Castro & Sánchez, 2016;Badenhorst, 2019;Meza Guzmán, 2013;Venegas et al, 2013) para explicar comportamientos de los escritores y su ajuste a convenciones discursivas determinadas.…”
