Citation analysis was the research design method that was used for this study, no questionnaires was used. The study revealed that journals are the major information sources cited by Doctoral students of geography department, secondary sources were the most cited type of information sources, percentage of recent sources cited by Doctoral students in geography department from 2008 to 2017 when compared to the total percentage of sources cited is not appreciable and printed sources are the major format of information sources cited by Doctoral students in geography department from 2008 to 2017.Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations were provided; There should be an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) laboratory in the department of geography to enable the students and lecturers to have access to e-resources. Information literacy should be part of the curriculum to enable use of open access resources that are available and The library management should collaborate with the department in acquisition of the information sources that are relevant for their studies, especially the most cited journals and monographs.
