Abstract
A list of the most significant journals used in the various agricultural sciences disciplines at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh (i.e., Veterinary Science, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Agricultural Economics & Rural Sociology, Agricultural Engineering & Technology, and Fisheries) has been prepared using the citation analysis method in an effort to identify the primary sources of citations. A list of the 123 primary journals that receive the most citations, ranked by merit, has also been compiled. The study has also taken into account the citations’ temporal and geographic dispersion. Agricultural University Libraries of Bangladesh may find the facts deduced in the study useful in reaching a need-based decision on the acquisition and selection of journals within the constrained budgets.
