摘要：There was an interesting article requested for photocopy many times through the interlibrary loan at Kawasaki Medical School Library. The article was in the field of statistics, and applicants for photocopy were doctors or researchers in clinical medicine. What is the article? Why do they request it? How do they use it? This paper was written to analyze and evaluate the field of statistics and citation data to solve these questions of a librarian. Results showed that the article was highly esteemed in the field of statistics and that the number of times the article had been cited was absolutely more than any other in the same field. Also, this paper shows that the number of times the article is cited and photocopies requested will increase.
