  2. INTRODUCTION Citation analysis, which is one of the areas of biliometrics, can be used for identifying the core journals and for knowing the characteristic features of the discipline such as authorship pattern, scatter of literature in different bibliographic forms and in different subjects, etc. Gross and Gross (1927) used for the first time this citation analysis as a tool for identifying the core journals in a subject based on counting the citations given at the end of the each article from a group of primary journals. After wards, a number of such studies were carried out on citations in dissertations/theses, books, primary and reviewing journals. Such studies can help in selection of documents saving millions of rupees of the organizations. It helps in planning and organization of resource sharing, networking and consortia. The institutions may eliminate rarely cited titles form their subscription lists and also weed out unused material to save costly stocking space and reduce maintenance cost.
