Mapping the literature of radiologic technology.

J F Burnham 1
PMCID: PMC226273  PMID: 9285130

Abstract

While analysis of the literature of radiology has been conducted in the discipline, none of the studies have focused on identifying the core journals. The bibliometric method was used to conduct research to identify the core journals in the radiologic technology field and determine the extent of indexing of those journals. This study was a part of Medical Library Association (MLA) Nursing and Allied Health Resource Section's project to map the literature of allied health. Findings indicate that there is a small core of literature with a heavy reliance on the journal literature. Books are used to a lesser extent. The majority of the citations analyzed were published during the fourteen years between 1980 and 1993. MEDLINE and EMBASE provided the best indexing coverage of the radiologic technology literature; minimal coverage was provided by the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and HEALTH.
