The document discusses bibliometrics and bibliometric laws. It defines bibliometrics as the application of mathematical and statistical methods to bibliographic information, and discusses its origins and objectives. Three important bibliometric laws are covered: Lotka's law describes the frequency of publication by authors, Bradford's law explains the scattering of articles across journals, and Zipf's law concerns the frequency of word usage. In conclusion, bibliometrics is an important tool in library and information science for studying information processes and flows.
Bibliometric study
Bibliometrics literally means "book measurement" but the term is used about all kinds of documents (with journal articles as the dominant kind of document).
What is measured are not the physical properties of documents but statistical patterns in variables such as authorship, sources, subjects, geographical origins, and citations.
Citation and references
This document provides guidance on citing sources and references in academic writing. It discusses citing sources within the text and including a reference list at the end. Sources should be cited whenever using others' ideas, methods, statistics or direct quotes. Well known facts may not need citation. References from scientific papers are usually paraphrased rather than directly quoted. Unpublished data or personal communications are cited differently than published sources. The document describes common citation styles like APA, MLA and Chicago and provides examples of how to format citations within the text and reference list entries.
Bibliographic coupling
The document discusses bibliographic coupling, co-citation coupling, and obsolescence. It defines bibliographic coupling as the relationship between two works that cite a common work, and co-citation coupling as the relationship between two works that are both cited by a third work. It outlines criticisms of bibliographic coupling and describes how co-citation coupling and author co-citation analysis evolved as alternative methods. Uses of bibliographic coupling include finding related research and understanding the development of new subjects. The document also defines obsolescence as the reduced use of information over time, and lists reasons for and criteria to measure the declination in usage of information.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Descrihe what is meant by "primary literature" in the
health sciences.
2. Discuss the characteristics of the major primary and
summarizing databases used by health professionals.
3. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of searching
the Internet for professional health information.
4. Illustrate how popular Internet search engines can be
used to find unique information in the health sciences.
The primary literature in the health sciences consists of re-
ports of original research generally published in the form of
articles in scholarly/academic journals. Ihe articles in these
journals are indexed by searchable databases such as MED-
LINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE, which function as an aid
to finding articles on a desired topic. The primary literature
has the advantage of being a direct communication from the
researchers who performed the inv.
