Arrange the following in the chronological order of their first year of publication :

(i) Arts and Humanities Index
(ii) Social-Science Citation Index
(iii) ISI Web of Science
(iv) Science Citation Index

  • A.(iv), (ii), (i), (iii)
  • B.(ii), (iii), (iv), (i)
  • C.(iii), (ii), (i), (iv)
  • D.(iv), (i), (iii), (ii)

Answer: A

The order is (iv), (ii), (i), (iii).

  1. Science Citation Index: first published by Eugene Garfield's Institute for Scientific Information in 1964.
  2. Social Sciences Citation Index: 1973.
  3. Arts and Humanities Citation Index: 1978.
  4. ISI Web of Science, the online platform combining the three: 1997.

The other options misplace Web of Science, which is the web version of the printed indexes and so came last, or the Science Citation Index, which came first.
