Eugene Garfield was a complex and remarkable man. He played the role of employer, mentor, friend, and role model to many people around the world and throughout his lifetime he was unwaveringly loyal to those who came to know him well. He also left a legacy far beyond the concept of citation indexing and bibliometrics, and the ideas that he developed during the latter half of the last century continue to fuel advances in cheminformetrics and information science. This presentation will provide a glimpse of the man who was Eugene Garfield and a brief overview of his many accomplishments through the eyes of an early and long-term employee of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI® – now Clarivate Analytics) who ultimately had the blessing of counting Eugene Garfield among her friends.
