The main objective of the study is to investigate authorship pattern of the citations, format of literature cited, electronic/print form of citations, chronological distribution of citations, geographical distribution of book and core journal citations. A ranked list of journals in economics is also compiled in order to find out the most referred journal. It is found that journals are the most consulted resources with 49.39 per cent citations in the field of economics.
