Abstract | Abstract The average numbers of references cited in papers published inN. Z. Journal of Experimental Agriculture (JEA) andN. Z. Journal of Agricultural Research (JAR) are compared. The papers inJAR have a greater number of references per paper than doJEA papers, probably becauseJAR papers are longer. ForJEA papers there is a steady increase in the average number of references per paper as the number of authors per paper increases. ForJAR there is no such steady increase but there is a marked increase in the average number of references per paper for 3- and 4+-author papers. There is a clear difference betweenJEA andJAR papers in the distribution of references between the different sections of the text. ForJEA papers 49% of references are cited in the Introduction and 52% are cited in the Results & Discussion sections. ForJAR the figures are 38% and 65% respectively. It is suggested that the distribution of cited references in the different sections of the text may be an indicator of the “appliedness” of a paper or of a journal. |
