citations and prepare a list of the most important journals used in various disciplines of Agricultural
Sciences in Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh (i.e. Veterinary Science, Agriculture,
Animal Husbandry, Agricultural Economics & Rural Sociology, Agricultural Engineering & Technology and
Fisheries). In addition to it, a list of 123 most cited primary journals in order to their merit has been
prepared. The geographical and chronological scattering of citations has also been included in the study.
The information inferred in the paper may be of helpful to Agricultural University Libraries of Bangladesh

budgets.
