Abstract

A bibliometric analysis of the field of geochemistry was begun with a citation analysis of the first ten years of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1951–1960, the first English language geochemistry journal. Journal articles dominated the citation field with approximately 75% of the citations, followed by books and continuations. English language citations dominate by 1960 with 75% with a corresponding decrease in German language citations. Citations to the geologic literature dominate and increase with time from 40% to 58%. Citations of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta grow from 2 to 357 citations within ten years. Self citations are consistent at about 10%. The trends visible within this small sample of geochemical literature will possibly continue and strengthen with increasing data years. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
