Dear Prof. Eugene Garfield,

Many thanks for the article.

It is noted that the authors have limited their perspective to the
literature that cites Henderson and Venkatraman (1993) - HV93.

I thank the authors for being candid in stating that they do not have a
preconceived view of the right perspective.

The statistical analysis reported is interesting.

Some Quick Thoughts:

Every organization is its best judge and they thrive on "Independence" of
judgement.

There is an inevitable temporal dilemma due to ICT that has been showing
an exponential growth. "Productivity" remains a paradox in every usage of
ICT.
I am afraid, not many Institutions have graduated beyond the cost-benefit
characteristics of ICT to make it "strategic" element.

"Technology Driven" is unfortunately being deemed the same as "(A Few)
Applications Driven".

Software developers and 'content-only developers' are becoming
increasingly important in the process of "University-Caliber [??]"
Instruction.

Long-term perspective is rapidly becoming more of a distraction.

Your thoughts...

Sincerely,





Gopal T V
