The main objective of this study is to examine
the characteristics of the literature of Indonesian
Economics, Indonesian Agricultural Development Economics,
and Indonesian Demography.
The data used are the references made by Ph.D.
and master's candidates in these three subject fields
in their theses, which were submitted to the Australian
National University during the period from 1971 to 1981.
At first the references were examined according
to four researcher groups : Ph.D.'s in Indonesia Economics
(Ph.D Indec); Masters of Agricultural Development
Economics (MADE), with Indonesia as the subject area;
Ph. D.'s in Demography (PhD Demog), with Indonesia as
the subject area; Masters of Arts in Demography ( MAD ),
with Indonesia as the subject area. The results indicate
that the literature referred to by the four researcher
groups has many of the same characteristics, as well as/
a high degree of relationship amongst them. Therefore,
the references made by the four researcher groups were
combined.
In total, there were 5235 references from 42
theses. It was found that 54.48% of the references were
to monographs and 44.85% were to serials. Academic
research centres, which contributed 21.32% to the literature
of the four researcher groups, constituted the
major source' institution, slightly above the contribution
of commercial publishers. The United States
was the most important source country, contributing
35.28%; and Indonesia was the second most important,
contributing 25.86%. The main language used was English,
accounting for 82.35% with Indonesian the second,
accounting for 15.01%. Materials of up to 10 years
old accounted for 68.41% of the total.
