Should the Scope of Historical Citations on Cancer be Broadened?
Wilson IB Onuigbo
Citations on my 3 historical articles, which appeared between 1965 and 2010 in the top ranking Cancer Research, were used to show both positive and negative attitudes towards the 21 historical articles that, as a Third World scientist, I had published on this very important subject. From the analysis, it is hypothesized that scientific information should be cited critically so as to promote international investigations. In this context, this should apply whether they bear on history or on the current quest for the target therapy of cancer.
