[edit] Speedy deletion?????

This artilce was marked as speedy deletion. I don't know why. If it is a stub, it can be added a template of stub. Many versions of Wikipedia have this article. I don't see any reason to put it into speedy deletion. At least it can be a redirect page. --Neo-Jay 12:11, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] expanded a little

I have just upgraded it, and plan to upgrade further. There is a considerable degree of overlap between the articles on ISI, WOK, WOS, SCI, Citation Index, Garfield, JCR, impact factor, citation impact etc etc I could see having the SCI, SSCI, A&HCI pages reduced to paragraphs on WoS, but I suspect there would be some confusion, because WoS is so easily confused with WoK, and WoK includes 20 or so databases. though the articles are short, I think it best to leave them in, as these will be the names that are generally known, & the reader should not have to figure out the relationships to get to a description.

In any case, it is no longer marked for speedy deletion. DGG 02:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

thanks. --Neo-Jay 04:11, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Partial update. I will add the history, which is interesting, but it is a question how much detail on use should be give--I've know people to object when I do, and when I don't. DGG 22:18, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
