Abstract
AbstractCitations to articles published during 1960 in three “core” sociological journals, cited in ten sociological journals (1961‐70), are examined. One‐third of the articles were not cited at all, while only eleven percent of the cited articles were cited in more than one‐half (six or more) of the journals. Articles are more likely to be cited in core journals than in specialized journals. Studies of the reading and citing practices of authors are needed. Finally, it is suggested that the core journals may not play an integrating role within sociology and that greater attention should be focused on the specialty journals.
