From the "another demonstration of the strength of weak ties" department:
Dr. Garfield has kindly sent me the following list of relevant papers
on the "small world problem" from his ISI archives and notes that he is
very much interested in the topic as it develops. His contribution to
scholarly research by the development of citation indexing and analysis
can be appreciated by contemplating how much publication of (as Barry
neatly put it) the "heroic discovery of the obvious" the competent use of
such tools can forestall.

I have a feeling that this topic (small world problem) might well be worth
subjecting to my historiographic software program and will work on that
soon.
Here is the list of ten papers that responded to that simple search. I'm
sure it can be easily expanded
