The purpose of this paper is to provide a bibliometric review of the journal Library Review (LR) from 1989 until its relaunch in 2018 as global knowledge, memory and communication.
Bibliometric analysis of 1,084 articles published in LR in the period 1989–2017.
Authors from 69 different countries have published in the journal, with Scotland providing the largest single contribution in terms of authors and institutions. Articles in the journal have been extensively cited, with the citations coming not only from the core library and information science literature but also from journals in a very broad range of disciplines.
This paper extends previous work on articles published in the journal and provides the first detailed study of citations to those published articles.
