Abstract: Eugene Garfield's creative work on journal impact measures served
more than one function. These measures were originally designed and applied
to monitor the journal coverage of the Science Citation Index (SCI). They
constituted a tool to identify on a permanent basis, the most important
journals in the scientific communication system, and to highlight
candidates to be included or dropped in view of the need to establish a
cost-effective Citation Index.
