Title Statement Utilization of SLS provided litrature in PCARRD research proposals and terminal reports: a citation analysis with implications for PCARRD Scientific Literture Services Summary, Etc. The information use behavior of the agricultural researchers within the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) network was studied using citation analysis as a means of evaluating the usefulness of the Scientific Literature Service (SLS)-provided information sources. Sample citations from 73 research proposals and 75 terminal reports submitted from 1974 to 1982 by the ten research centers were used in this study. The ten research centers involved in this study included the Bicol Agriculture and Resources Research Consortium (BARRC), Central Luzon Agricultural Research Consortium (CLARC), Cagayan Valley Integrated Agricultural Research System (CVIARS), Highland Agricultural Research Center (HARC), Ilocos Agricultural Research Center (ILARC), La Granja Agricultural Research Center (LGARC), Northern and Central Mindanao Coordinated Agriculture and Resources Research Program (NOCEMCARP), Palawan Agricultural Research Center (PARC), Southern Mindanao Agricultural Research Center (SMARC) and Visayas Coordinated Agricultural Research Program (VICARP). The citations were analyzed by form of literature used, recency of literature and the place of origin whether local or foreign. Citation analysis showed that SLS was useful to agricultural researchers especially to those who were geographically remote from big libraries. Chi-square test showed that there was very highly significant difference at 0.001 level among the ten centers in terms of number of SLS-provided materials than other centers in proportion to the total cited references. Significant differences were also observed in the use of the different types of publications with, in general, marked preference for grey literature over periodical articles and books. Moreover, results showed that foreign sources were more frequently cited than local ones. Analysis of the recency of researchers' cited references definitely showed that they preferred more recent literature.
