This paper analyses citation patterns in 30 doctoral theses in the field of Education
Sciences, submitted at the University of Córdoba (Spain) between 1997 and 2010. A
preference was found for citing books as opposed to articles. The most widely-cited
journal was a Spanish education-specific publication, Enseñanza de las ciencias. Only a
small number of journals from the stock of periodical publications held and managed by
the Faculty of Education Sciences Library were cited.
