Eugene Garfield's 1980 survey of multiple-discovery literature makes no mention of Tertius Chandler

Eugene Garfield's 1980 review essay "Multiple Independent Discovery & Creativity in Science" (Current Contents #44), read directly via PDF extraction rather than a search summary, surveys the field's standard figures exhaustively — Robert K. Merton, Ogburn & Thomas (1922), A.L. Kroeber (1917), Jacob Schmookler, Dean Simonton, Derek J. de Solla Price, Warren Hagstrom, Jerry Gaston — and nowhere names Tertius Chandler or his repackaging thesis.

The absence is not proof Chandler never made the argument; it means no bridge runs from the field's own contemporaneous account of its own historiography back to him. Whatever the source of the "simultaneous discoveries are repackagings" attribution, it sits outside the standard citation network Garfield's survey represents — an argument, if real, that would have to be recovered from Chandler's own obscure corpus rather than from the field's citation trail.

This is Garfield's own historiographic essay, a Tier 1 primary source for what a 1980 survey of the field did and did not cover — a stronger negative-evidence base than the single Tier-3 blog the Chandler attribution itself rests on. The claim is an absence, so it has no single quotable sentence to ground it the way a positive assertion would; the underlying full-text read has not been independently re-verified this promotion, so the note stays seedling pending question-verify-garfield-1980-essay-full-text-omits-chandler.
