  The Social Science Citation Index was used to gather data concerning the frequency with which articles published in volumes 1 to 25 of the Journal of Reading Behavior have been cited in professional journals. The nature and range of those citations were also examined. These data were used to track the impact of the journal over the first 25 years of its history and to identify the 30 most frequently cited articles. These were analyzed by content, and the top 10 were examined in greater detail. A summary and a recommendation are offered.
