Abstract
A ranking list of 26 journals most frequently cited by Indian earth Scientists during 1983-88 has been drawn using the absolute number of citations received by each journal in the baseline journal, 'Journal of the Geological Society of India'. Comparison of the present ranking list of the core journals with other national ranking lists prepared from the utility point of view of Indian earth scientists shows that the 'Journal of the Geological Society of India' occupies the first place in all the lists indicating the national bias in citing references. Further, the five journals, namely, (i) Nature, (ii) Geological Society of America Bulletin, (iii) journal of Sedimentary Petrology, (iv) American Journal of Science, and (v) Journal of Geophysical Research, appear in all the national and international core lists under study. These five journals are considered as the 'Prime Core Journals' in the discipline of earth science.
