Abstract
The guru of #InformationScience, Eugene Garfield, was aghast as to
“the terrible things journals do to us.” Personal examples of such
grouses are given. The cure is prescribed in terms of the desirable
practices of putting essential data on the first page. Thousands of reprints, which I requested for, from all over the
world, were studied. It was forty of them that provided clues for
evaluating the above surprising title. It was part of the title discussed
sensitively by him in the weekly Current Contents in 1983
under “#Idiosyncrasies and Errors, or the Terrible Things Journals
Do to Us.” As he instanced, “I had complained that even though the
first page of every article included the journal’s name, date and pagination,
the volume was omitted” [1].
