The library and information science field is currently confronted with difficult decisions about how best to allocate acquisition expenditures among increasingly expensive journals. This article measures the return-on-investment of serial expenditures through the use of citation analysis, which is a widely used approach to ascertaining journal quality. The frequency of citations to 116 library science journals in the bibliographies of 11 premier library journals over the period 2002-2005 is tabulated, and a price-per-citation figure (based on subscription prices) is also computed. (Contains 4 tables and 27 notes.)
