Abstract
The paper presents the citation sources of VICARP researchers' published articles in refereed journals and other publications. A total of 90 sample published articles composed of 30 samples each from peer-reviewed journals, "non-refereed journals" and other R&D publications were subjected to citation analysis. Authored by 151 researchers, the entire 90 sample articles had a total of 881 citation sources. About one-half (50.5%) of the reference materials cited in the sample articles came from gray literatures. About one-fourth (27.1%) were citations from books. Only about a fourth (22.4%) were taken from refereed journals. Among the gray literatures used by the researchers were conference proceedings, these, bulletines/newsletters, monographs, terminal reports, manuals, abstracts, working papers, annual reports, and other non-refereed publications.
