Abstract
Journal Citation Reports and Social Science Citation Index were used to determine the extent to which articles in Journal of Leisure Research and Leisure Sciences cite or are cited by articles published in outside sources. Though there is a large and growing body of research on leisure and recreation, little contemporary outside literature is cited in these leisure research journals. In addition, sources outside of leisure studies seldom cite articles from these journals. Analysis of citation patterns documents the ways that journals borrow from and build upon one another. The citation patterns uncovered in this analysis suggest that these leisure research journals are intellectually isolated from important and relevant bodies of literature.
