Abstract
Eugene Garfield's creative work on journal impact measures served more than one function. These measures were originally designed and applied to monitor the journal coverage of the Science Citation Index (SCI). They constituted a tool to identify on a permanent basis, the most important journals in the scientific communication system, and to highlight candidates to be included or dropped in view of the need to establish a cost-effective Citation Index.
