Abstract

5683 citations from 35 dissertation of the year 2009 of the life Science program, biomedical Science and Chemistry were analyzed. They were identified by document type, date of publication, language and subject area. The availability of the sources cited in the Library System of the Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM) was checked in the online catalog (SERIUNAM) and Electronic journals contained in the digital library. The most cited articles were mainly of a scientific nature and in English language. The average publishing date of the cited articles was in the range of 2000-2004. The 26 most cited titles in the three programs were identified. It was concluded that both the libraries of the post-graduate centres and those of the UNAM Library System have the necessary sources of information to support students in developing their research.
