How Economists Cite Literature: Citation Analysis Of Two Core Pakistani Economic Journals, Ashraf Sharif, Khalid Mahmood

Libraries

Selected volumes of the Pakistan Development Review (PDR) and the Pakistan Economic and Social Review (PESR) were analysed to find the citation pattern of their articles.
