Dear Dr Garfield; first of all I want to say you that for me is a real honor
that you read my review article in Arch Bronconeumol. Thank you very much
for your           
 The paper version is in  Spanish but  the  URL  above  is in  English  and
the Spanish version at    .

Dear Dr. Orive:
 
I read with interest your paper mentioned above.
 
On the first page you state that that SCI includes entries dating from 1955.
That is not correct. It starts with 1945 for the Source material. I am sure
you also realize that anything published before that time could be cited.
Perhaps the date you used is confused with the date for the earliest issue
of SSCI.
 
You will also be interested to know that ISI has recently announced that it
will go back to the beginning of the twentieth century. They call this
project "Century of Science"
 
In the ASIS&T we operate a listserv which is read by hundreds of researchers
interested in scientometrics. We would like to post  the full text of your
article in English. We would also include your email address. Unfortunately
we cannot use PDFs on the listserv. Can you send us URL that readers could
access?
 
Anyone can join the SIGMETRICS listserv free of charge. The url is

With best wishes. EG
