Abstract
This paper discusses the citations to, and publica tions by, 10 members of the full-time academic staff of the Department of Information Studies, University of Sheffield. during the period 1980-1990. It is shown that departmental publications are cited by a very wide range of organisations and in many countries, with more citations in the social-sci ence literature than in the science literature. The journals in which publications or citations occur are in fair agreement with a previous study that considered UK information studies professors. The overlap in the citations to pairs of members of staff is not very large, providing some support for the idea that information studies should not be regarded as an inte grated discipline.
