Fifty years of citation indexing - Current Science

[Subbiah Arunachalam]

Friends:

Subject: Special Section in Current Science on 50
years of Citation Indexing

Current Science dated 10th November 2005 has come out
(saw it on the web about an hour back) and contains a
Special Section on "50 Years of Citation Indexing".
You can see it on the web at

http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/nov102005/contents.htm

It contains ten articles on various aspects of
citation indexing, its origins, present status, WOS
and its competitiors and a colour advertisement on
WOS.  The articles are interesting not only to know
the developments of WOS, Garfield's views on various
issues pertaining to indexing and his seminal papers
published in 1955 in "Science". Arun, a long-time
friend and associate of Gene Garfield, who put
together this special section, has contributed a short
introduction
("In this issue").

Please spread the word.

Happy reading.

With best wishes
A Ratnakar
