Salute to Prof.Eugene Garfield
by D.V. Patwardhan 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

TheModerator, Pleasepublish the following in Lis-Forum ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feltvery sad to learn that Prof.Eugene Garefield is no more. Though citationindexing was followed in indexing legal cases in U.S.A., Prof.Eugene Garefield wasthe pioneer in large scale implementation of this concept in the fields of science,Humanities and Social Sciences. I was also fortunate enough to attend his ThreeDay Lecture programme titled “Scientific Information & Citation Studies”sponsored by Sarada Ranganathan Endowment and held at DRTC on Nov. 14-16, 1983.Prof.Ganesh Bhattacharya chaired thelecture programme. The "Citation Indexing" was much different from conventional "subject Indexing" and hence received much appreciation and also ctiticism from the audience. I summerised entire lecture programme and the same was highlyappreciated by then R&D bosses at Kirloskar Electric Co.Ltd., Bengaluru. Prof.EugeneGarefield’s major contribution is commercial exploitation of the concept ofCitation Indexing by publishing “Science Citation Index”, “Social ScienceCitation Index” and “Humanities Index” and making them available to scholarly worldfor many decades. The “Current Contents” was published by Institute ofScientific Information on weekly basis and the same was very popular amongscientific community. We,Library & Information Science professionals salute Prof.Eugene Garefieldfor his immense contributions. D.V.Patwardhan Sr.Librarian(Rtd.) Global Academy of Technology Bengaluru-560098

Sad Demise of Eugene Garfield
by Vasanth 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Dear Sir, It is very sad to learnthat the pioneer of citation indexing Dr. Eugene Garfield is no more. His visionary product citation indexing databaseScience Citation Index (SCI) has altered the research landscape forever. Today Web of Science (WoS)has become synonym with quantitative measurement of scholarly publications. Itwas always pleasure to put hands on Eugene’s erstwhile print publications CurrentContents. Way back in 2002 and 2003 I had seen professors and researchers desperatelylooking for Current Contents in Mysore University Library and note down bibliographicalentries of to be published research articles in their area of expertise. Thoughhe was graduated in Chemistry, because of his love for library Science, he obtaineda degree in LIS. Dr. Eugene Garfield wrote series of article on our great legendaryLIS scientist Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. His column “Essays of an InformationScientist” gives us whole gamut of growth of world science literature. His legacy will continue with his pioneering work inthe field of citation indexing. Theworld LIS fraternity will surely miss him. In 2010 on the 85th birth anniversary ofEugene Garfield the Annals of Library and Information Studies brought out aspecial issue as a tribute to his path breaking work in the field ofscientometrics.

It is with great regret we learn about the passing away of Dr. Eugene Garfield, the legendary Information Scientist on 26th February 2017. A message received from Mrs.Garfield informs "It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform all our friends that our wonderful Gene died on February 26, 2017............." "Dr. Eugene Garfield is the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and a pioneer in the field of citation analysis. Garfield studied at the University of Colorado and Berkeley before getting a degree in chemistry from Columbia University in 1948. During the early 1950s he worked on the Welch Library indexing project at the John Hopkins University School of Medicine, sorting and indexing documents from medical papers and journals. With a graduate degree in library sciences from Columbia University, Garfield went into business as a "documentation consultant" while working on his doctorate in structural linguistics. He founded the ISI in 1960 and developed an indexing system for science literature, based on the analysis of citations used within a given work. Works earn an "impact factor," a measure of citations to other science journals that serves as an indicator of their importance in the field. The more citations in reputable journals, the higher the impact factor. The ISI sold subscriptions to their publication the Science Citation Index, and over time grew to include the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI). These databases now form the foundation of the online research tool called the Web of Knowledge<http://scientific.thomson.com/webofknowledge/>. Garfield also served as an adjunct professor of computer and information science at University of Pennsylvania during his career, and in 1986 launched The Scientist, a magazine for science researchers.
