Welcome to Web Of Knowledge
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 multidisciplinary Science Citation Index
(SCI) in 1963.

A very brief history of the citation index
• 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…
For Example, the early research connecting HIV to AIDS actually referred
to the virus using two different terms. Neither term was “HIV”
LAV
Human Immunodeficiency virus
HIV
(in Europe)
HTLV-III
(the world)
