These include\u00a0the Clarivate Analytics\u00a0<em>Web of Science<\/em>, which indexes the contents and the interconnected citations in the world\u2019s premier scientific and scholarly journals; and the <em>Journal Citation Reports<\/em>,\u00a0which provides impact factors\u00a0and other citation data specifying the influence of individual journals.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Garfield\u2019s work touched innumerable lives, and not just of those who knew him. For one, the functionality of Google and Facebook directly descend from his concepts. There are also the multitudes that have benefited from his innovations, thanks to the treatments, cures and inventions that were accelerated by researchers who used his citation-indexing tools to turn their work in the right direction at the right time, realizing connections they otherwise might have missed.<\/p>\n<p>To honor his legacy and to support the scientometrics community that he played a key role in\u00a0establishing, Clarivate Analytics is creating the \u201cEugene Garfield Information Sciences Pioneer Award\u201d to be given annually to one promising information scientist selected by a board of five external experts.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming weeks we will be releasing more details on the scholarship and later this year, we will bring together the scientometrics community to honor Dr. Garfield\u2019s legacy and to announce the recipient of our first award.
