Abstract
This paper is an attempt to infer some characteristics of Yugoslav sociology from the structure of references in the articles published in journals Sociological Review, Rural Sociology and Sociology. The following parameters have been examined: the number of references, the citation of books and journals, the recency of references, the citation of foreign literature, and the citation of literature in foreign languages. The study shows that, with respect to the recency of references, Yugoslav sociology belongs to the »soft« sciences, i.e., that the works cited are most often older than 5 years. It is also shown that books are cited more often than journals, and that nearly every third paper has no references in foreign languages. A substantial percentage of papers has no references at all. According to these characteristics Yugoslav sociology is significantly different from the one in developed countries.
