The Role of Monographs in Scholarly Communication: An Empirical Study of Philosophy, Sociology and Economics.

Lindholm-Romantschuk, Ylva; Warner, Julian

Journal of Documentation, v52 n4 p389-404 Dec 1996

Using the "Arts & Humanities Citation Index" and the "Social Sciences Citation Index," a citation analysis of 116 monographs in the humanities and social sciences published between 1973-90 found that scholarly monographs have greater impact than articles; that each discipline has a core group of monographs; and that a monograph's initial reception can predict its intellectual survival.
