Institute of Scientific Information
The Institute of Scientific Information (ISI), today known as Thomson Scientific, was established by Eugene Garfield, who devised a means of using citation analysis to identify the top experts in all social science and science field. The Institute publishes the Social Science Citation Index and the Science Citation Index. Both are available via DIALOG. Using these tools, it is possible to create a living directory of the top published experts, and through them, of the top unpublished experts.
