title: An analysis of journal citation frequency in the Consultant data base for computer-assisted diagnosis.
abstract: An analysis was done of a random sample of one third of the Consultant data base for computer-assisted diagnosis to determine the number of journals cited and the number of times each was cited. Although 86 journals were represented, 80% of citations for small animal practice were from 9 journals and 90% were from 14 journals. Eighty percent of citations for large animal diseases were from 17 journals and 90% were from 25 journals. The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association provided 20% of total journal citations.
