摘要：

In this increasingly digital age, the number of times a paper is downloaded and the number of citations to it are becoming indicators of the interest, visibility and impact of the paper. As a result. downloads and citations increasingly are becoming a part of the evaluation process of faculty, departments and universities.

A statistically significant relationship is found between the number of citations from different citation sources and the number of downloads of Decision Support Systems. In addition. the different the number of citations from sources of citation information are found to be highly correlated with each other. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
