“…Furthermore, past analyses have focused nearly exclusively on a single genre, which has implications for interdisciplinarity because differences in genres cited vary by both discipline and genre (Cronin, Snyder, &Atkins, 1997;Lariviére, Archambault, Gingras, & Vignola-Gagne, 2006;Sugimoto, 2011;Ucak & Ai, 2009). Time also is a relatively neglected area in studies of interdisciplinarity.…”

Interdisciplinarity has been studied using cognitive connections among individuals in corresponding domains, but rarely from the perspective of academic genealogy. This article utilizes academic genealogy network data from 3,038 PhD dissertations in Library and Information Science (LIS) over a span of 80 years (1930-2009) to describe interdisciplinary changes in the discipline. Aspects of academic pedigree of advisors and committee members are analyzed, such as country, school, and discipline of highest degree, to reveal the interdisciplinary features of LIS. The results demonstrate a strong history of mentors from fields such as education and psychology, a decreasing trend of mentors with LIS degrees, and an increasing trend in mentors receiving degrees in computer science, business, and communication, among other disciplines. This work proposes and explores the use of academic genealogy as an indicator of interdisciplinarity and calls for additional research on the role of doctoral committee composition in a student's subsequent academic career.

“…Some citation studies investigate master's theses (e.g., Brazzeal and Fowler 2005;Sherriff 2010;Williams and Fletcher 2006). Others often focus on both master's theses and doctoral dissertations (e.g., Eckel 2009;Edwards 1999;Ucak and Al 2009). Still other studies primarily examine collection support for doctoral research (e.g., Buzzard and New 1983;Omoba and Fabunmi 2010;Sinn 2005).…”

This article reports a librarian's collection development efforts to support her institution's first independent doctoral degree (Ed.D., Educational Leadership) via a citation analysis comparing information usage by education doctorate dissertation authors from six peer institutions nationally. This analysis is part of a long-term examination of library collection use among CaliforniaState University, Long Beach (CSULB) doctoral students. Key findings include the relative young age among the information resources in educational leadership, which resource formats were cited, what serial titles were cited the most, and where they are available electronically. The ultimate aim is the creation of an essential collection in the subject discipline.

“…Bilimsel iletişim araştırmacıların elde ettikleri bulguları sözlü ya da yazılı olarak sundukları bir süreci kapsar (Uçak ve Al, 2009). Bu süreç içerisinde sonuçlanan diğer bir ifade ile yayına dönüşen her süreç başka bir sürecin de başlangıç sürecini tetikler.…”
