For the United Kingdom the topic, information storage and retrieval, accounted for 22% of research articles in 1995, and scientific and professional communication accounted for 6% (Layzell Ward 1998, Table3 ). For the topic information seeking there were few articles addressing it broadly (Private communication P....

This enabled patterns and trends for the two journals to be discovered, and also a comparison with the data from other international studies. Findings As shown in Tables 1 and 2 the percentage of research articles in the two journals 1985-1994 was 22% for ALJ and 27% for AARL, giving a combined total of 24%, as shown in Table3 . When a comparison was made of two five-year periods, there was only an increase of 5% in the percentage of research articles in the second five-year period, so we would need a future comparison to see if there is an increase over time....
