The analysis of the present study is based on publications and citations data extracted from the Web of Science for the time span 1999-2014. It is evident from the study that almost all authors' g-index is higher than that of h-index. The average g/h of all subjects' authors is around 1.5. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study is based on 9,162 citations, appended in the 77 doctoral theses of Sociology submitted to Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati and Osmania University, Hyderabad for the award of doctoral degree during the period 1974- 2005. It has been carried-out from 1974 to observe the distribution of authorship pattern, bibliographic form, core journals, country, language, subject wise distribution of journal citations and core periodicals. The single authored papers were highest contribution in book citations 76.77% of total citations, and multi authored papers were highest contribution 55.57% of the total journal citations. The sociology researchers in both the Universities referred mostly book source rather than other sources. Most of the publications cited by the sociology researchers were published by developed countries and all the citations were published in English language only. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper investigates the citations of Sociology theses submitted to Punjabi University, Patiala for the period 2000-2014. The study was carried out to find the number of theses, authorship pattern, chronological distribution, format of citations etc. It was found that sociology researchers had used 1938 citations for writing 24 theses. In addition to this a ranked list of journals was also prepared in order to identify core journals as well as to test the applicability of Bradford Law of Scattering. Economic and Political Weekly was the most cited journal with 47 citations. The journal distribution pattern confirmed to Bradford distribution when employed with Leimkuhler model.
