TL;DR: By revealing who has really influenced the course of science the Science Citation Index seems to be a valuable sociometric tool for historians and sociologists.

I personally analyzed hundreds of papers that had been indexed by C A . Complete indexing sheets were provided to me by Charles Bernier, the former editor of CA, and reported on the number of indexing terms explicitly and implicitly indicated in article titles.
