Abstract

The purpose of this study is to attempt to gain answers to the following questions: How will citation counting effect bibliographic access to journal literature of the social sciences? Will bibliographic coverage of journal literature of the social sciences be reduced to coverage of only the most cited journals, thus leaving more esoteric or less popular journals inaccessible?
