Abstract
The present study is based on 5414 citations, cited in the 51 theses submitted to Osmania University, Hyderabad and Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati for the award of the doctoral degree in Civil Engineering. It has been carried out bibliographic form-wise distribution of citations, ranked list of journals, productivity of journals, age-wise and half life period of journals and many more. Journals are considered to be the most primary and authentic channels of communication for scientific information due to their characteristics such as the nascence, referring system and wider distribution. Distribution of cited journals in civil engineering clearly indicates that a very small number of journals are contributing to maximum number of citations appended to theses in Civil Engineering. Few number of journals covering half of the citations range between 1 and 43 journals. Ranked list of journals in Civil Engineering shows that the journal entitled Journal of Hydraulic Division from United States of America contributing highest number of citations. The maximum age of journal citations in the field of Civil Engineering is 132 years.
