Citation Indexing Revisited: Garfield’s Early Vision and Its Implications for the Future

Abstract: Eugene Garfield's ideas on citation indexing were gradually shaped over the course of the 1950s by his exposure to the thinking of various individuals such as J. D. Bernal, H. G. Wells, Chauncey Leake, William Adair, and Joshua Lederberg. Two key concepts emerged during this early period which guided his later work: the importance of interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary research and the notion that references could be used to index the documents they cited. These ideas were the basis for his landmark produc… Show more

“…Park [12] suggested that co-citation occurs when two different publications are referenced in the publication. While Small [13] agreed that co-citation is based on the occurrence of two documents from previous works are collectedly cited in a subsequent work. By examining these co-citation patterns, researchers can gain insight into the intellectual structure, evolution, and relationship within a specific area of study.…”

The JIF is annually determined per journal as follows:…”
