History of citation indexes for chemistry: a brief review

Abstract

started to process the most important journals from that decade, which were identified through citation analyses of the recently published 1955-1964 SCI. We expect to finish the 1945-1954 SCI by 1988; it will enable us to check the postwar citation histories of classics such as the seminal 1944 Avery-MacLeod-McCarty report on the chemical nature of DNA, which is mentioned in the paper reprinted below. We can then begin completing the citation record for the first 45 years of the twentieth cen-tury. As every scholar knows, good references never die—it’s our memory of them that fades away.

No public copy is stored for this record, so only the metadata is cited.

Stored only when both papers are in the corpus — 33 citations exist upstream.

Papers that cite the same references — the relational fallback while embeddings are still backfilling.
