Methods: A comprehensive list of refereed library and information studies journals was compiled and reviewed independently by two researchers to derive a list of included journals. Articles published in 2001 from included journals were independently assessed for relevancy by two researchers. Researchers separately extracted and checked data from included articles.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: 217 LIS journals were reviewed and 107 were included; 91 journals provided data. 2664 journal articles were examined, with 807 (30.3%) classified as research. The Top 10 journals for research published in 2001 were: 1) JASIST, 2) Scientometrics, 3) Info Proc &amp; Man; 4) Coll &amp; Res Lib, 5) Tie: J Lib Adm\/Bull Med Lib Assn, 7) Libs &amp; Culture, 8) J Doc, 9) Tie: J Info Sci\/J Acad Libr. For the period studied, descriptive research (329 out of 807 articles) was published far more frequently than any other type. The domain Information Access &amp; Retrieval had the highest number of research articles (314\/807), followed by Collections (193\/807), Management (135\/807), Education (95\/807) and Reference (77\/807). Two new possible domains were identified: Library History and Professional Issues. Conclusions: Because 36 articles fell into the domain of Professional Issues, a case can be made to add this domain to Crumley and Koufogiannakis\u2019 taxonomy. Library History was not added as a domain because historical research is not used for evidence-based decision-making. There was no evidence to support keeping the Marketing &amp; Promotion domain. LISA provides the best coverage of the top 10 LIS research journals identified in this study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551504044668","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,6,22]],"date-time":"2004-06-22T22:59:04Z","timestamp":1087945144000},"page":"227-239","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":70,"title":["A Content Analysis of Librarianship Research"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Denise","family":"Koufogiannakis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"John W.
