The document discusses the history and purpose of bibliometrics and citation indexing. It describes Eugene Garfield's 1955 paper which introduced the Science Citation Index (SCI) to allow discovery of literature not linked thematically and increase researcher collaboration. Later works by Garfield et al expanded on relational bibliometrics and evaluative bibliometrics. Maps of information science, all of science, and educational technology are shown, with links to related projects. The highlights recommend sharing open library collections and repositories to improve discovery of institutional works and researchers through re-use of metadata and engagement with scholarly networks.

Garfield (1955). Citation indexes for science:
A new dimension in documentation through
association of ideas.

11. Highlights from the
recommendations
Library collections and institutional repositories are
rich sources for knowledge discovery.
Share the library collection (metadata and/or fulltexts)
under an open license to improve the re-use of these
metadata and, along with it, increase discoverability of
your institution's scholarly works and researchers.
Engagement with scholarly works always results in
networks that can be exploited for detecting related
scholarly works, topics, and/or people.
