Citation Project Research Studies
Broadly defined, Citation Project research aims to increase our understanding of source use, information literacy, and citation practices across a range of contexts. Most of the research involves collecting and coding papers and sources, and that coding frequently includes Citation Context analysis. Most of the studies replicate or adapt the methods of at least one existing study or compares new findings with those from single institutions and small samples that precede the Citation Project. Several projects are in development, but those below are completed or in process.
