They know what is important in their
field.
Grad students’ research interests
often mirror faculty’s, so these
citations could also represent grad
student needs.
May be hard to find a comprehensive list of
these.
What to do if co-authored?
Stronger knowledge base could lead to
citing older standards and missing other
important works, which could be useful to
students.
May be citing what is in their own
collections.
Useful for humanities faculty, who
may focus on writing monographs
rather than articles.
Same as above
Science faculty would have very few
published books compared to humanities.
Can’t be found by searching Web of
Science.
Would need a large time span in order to
include as many faculty as possible.
Usually easy to collect.
They are leaving. Will future students have
the same areas of focus?
More students per year than
doctoral. Some departments may
not offer doctorates.
If you are not a research institution,
these may be your primary users.
They may not be citing the best resources.
Least knowledge of their discipline.
Most likely to have errors in their citations.
