In response to the increased amount of literature expressing the sense of crisis in anthropology over two decades (1963-1983), the present investigation undertook a citation analysis to examine intra- and interdisciplinary communication patterns indicated in core anthropology journals published in the United States. Disciplinary communication patterns have been quite stable during this twenty-year period. Intradisciplinary citation analysis reveals that subdisciplines of anthropology seem to be quite heterogenous and mutually isolated from one another and the "holistic" study of man appears to be only a rhetorical claim. Interdisciplinary analysis yielded about a 70 percent centrifugal tendency; that is, 70 percent of cited literature in anthropology was drawn from other disciplines. History, biomedical sciences, and sociology seen to have most influence on anthropology. Two plausible interpretations of this phenomenon are discussed. |
