Studies relating to research in law are very essential to identify the modern research and progress of the subject. Moreover theses are unpublished documents, hence the analysis of this is very important to impart valuable information to other researchers for analyzing the progress made in this field. Citation Study and analysis may throw light on the extent of dependence of legal research on legal materials and various subjects in other disciplines. It is hoped that the outcome of the study will expose to researchers in law, the pattern of information use in their field and the total scenario of research going on in the concerned areas. All of us live under a legal environment and must confront the law in many aspects of our daily lives. One thing we cannot do, however, is to avoid the law. Like it or not, it is a pervasive feature of our lives and is likely to remain as such. So it is very relevant to conduct a citation analysis based on PhD Theses in Law.
