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, who
put together this special section, has contributed a short introduction
("In this issue").

Please spread the word.

Happy reading.

With best wishes
