 In: Quarterly Bulletin of IAALD v. 40, no. 1, p. 5-995-085184Summary: An attempt has been made to use citations to assess the impact of 82 articles published from CIMMYT in the period from 1967 to 1978. The context of each of 769 citations was examined. Estimates of impact based on the mere counting of these citations would have been misleading. By seeing each citation in its context, a qualitative assessment of how the scientific community has reacted to the cited article can be done. Contributions on the same subject for other authors and institutions are recognized. The chronology of the citations suggests that, except in a minority of cases, the reactions are slow to mature and their main trends may not be seen in the literature until 5 to 7 years after the publication of the original articles
