A very brief history of the citation index

• The concept of the citation index was first developed by Dr Eugene Garfield and his concept was published in an article in the Journal Science in 1955

• In the 1961 Dr Garfield created a Genetics Citation Index at the request of the National Institute of Health. As a consequence of this project Dr Garfield was able to start the product of a multi-disciplinary Science Citation Index (SCI) in 1963.

SCI Print


• The Science Citation Index was born and over the years developed from print in the 1960’s, On-line with Dialog in the 1970’s, CD-ROM in the 1980’s and finally a web interface in 1997

• At the same time the content was enhanced and the Social Sciences Citation Index was released in 1973 covering journals from 1956, the Arts & Humanities Citation Index was released in 1978 covering journals from 1975 and the Century of Science in 2004 covering science journals back to 1900.

Citation Index - The Value Add

• The language of science is always changing, concepts and terminology continue

to evolve

• Free-text searching alone will never maximize retrieval of critical information…
