Secondary and Tertiary Citing: A Study of Referencing Behavior in the Literature of Citation Analysis Deriving from the Ortega Hypothesis of Cole and Cole.

Hoerman, Heidi Lee; Nowicke, Carole Elizabeth

Library Quarterly, v65 n4 p415-34 Oct 1995

Examines documents and citations relating to literature of the Ortega Hypothesis, reviews citing behaviors and errors of individual citations, and includes analysis of the occurrences of secondary and tertiary citing. Findings show there is little evidence to prove that secondary and tertiary citing is not occurring and suggests that further studies be done. (Contains 58 references.) (JMV)
