Abstract

This study showed that most citations in postgraduate engineering theses submitted to South Indian universities were to journals, reference books and text books. There appears to be a lack of awareness of primary, secondary and tertiary information sources. In general, it seems to be a ‘ritual’ to add a bibliography without any clear indication of the relevance of the references to the material of the thesis. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
