AB This study describes a citation analysis conducted on publications in Clinical Laboratory Science from 2010-2014. References were gathered and sorted according to format and publication date; for references to journal articles, the journal title was also recorded. At 71.0%, the journal article was found to be the most frequently cited format. Over 54% of the references were five years old or less, and over 91% were from the last two decades. A total of 815 unique journal titles were cited. The 22 most frequently cited journals provided approximately one-third of the references, while over 85% of the journals were cited three times or less. The most frequently cited journals were drawn from general medicine, pathology/laboratory medicine, the pre-clinical sciences, and general science. Results of the study can be used by faculty, students, practitioners, and researchers to support scholarship and research, and to advance the long-term goals of the profession.ABBREVIATIONS: ASP - Academic Search Premier, CINAHL - Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PNAHS - ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source, SCIE - Science Citation Index Expanded
