Abstract

Eugene Garfield (1925 − 2017) was an iconic pioneer of information science. On his centennial, we remember his seminal innovations in information technology and bibliographic products, among them, Current Contents and the Science Citation Index. His impact has extended to ranking scientists, journals, and institutions. He had an exceptionally creative mind and the ability of turning his ideas into actions. His methods of evaluating scientific performance and achievements by numbers have earned praise and curse alike but it was outside his responsibility how the science community, promotions boards, and funding agencies have utilized his innovations.

尤金·加菲尔德(1925 - 2017)-高影响力的信息科学家

尤金·加菲尔德（1925 - 2017）是信息学的标志性先驱。在他百年诞辰之际，我们记得他在信息技术和书目产品方面的开创性创新，其中包括《当前目录》和《科学引文索引》。他的影响力已经扩展到对科学家、期刊和机构的排名。他具有非凡的创造性思维和将想法转化为行动的能力。他用数字来评估科学表现和成就的方法赢得了赞扬和诅咒，但科学界、晋升委员会和资助机构如何利用他的创新，这超出了他的责任范围。

期刊介绍： Structural Chemistry is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original research papers that cover the condensed and gaseous states of matter and involve numerous techniques for the determination of structure and energetics, their results, and the conclusions derived from these studies. The journal overcomes the unnatural separation in the current literature among the areas of structure determination, energetics, and applications, as well as builds a bridge to other chemical disciplines. Ist comprehensive coverage encompasses broad discussion of results, observation of relationships among various properties, and the description and application of structure and energy information in all domains of chemistry. We welcome the broadest range of accounts of research in structural chemistry involving the discussion of methodologies and structures,experimental, theoretical, and computational, and their combinations. We encourage discussions of structural information collected for their chemicaland biological significance.
