Abstract
Citation analysis is one of the popular techniques of bibliometric study that aids scholars in the identification of core journals in their respective domain. The present study is based on 1399 citations used in the 10 doctoral theses of the library and information science department of University of Calcutta, Mangalore University, Manipur University, Mizoram University and Gauhati University that are deposited to Shodhganga from 2020. The purpose of this study is to determine the most favored information source, year-wise distribution of citations as well as to prepare ranking list of core Journals in library and information science based on citation frequency of that journal. Data were gathered and analyzed based on pre-determined criteria. Finally conclusion has been drawn from the data analyzed.
