The 'Author's Effect of Showcasing' (AES) is the activity of the publishing researchers as authors with which they shape by free will the formal reference stock of their communications cited directly and itemizedly, placing this formal reference stock into the showcase of modern science - consciously or unconsciously. Its fundamental cause is the scientific publication explosion of the past century: the constantly uncitable vast quantity of the relevant and citable literature. This gives rise to the necessity of selection, choice and lifting out in the course of the author's personal referencing practice. This first paper of the study demonstrates the emergence, causes and traces of the AES phenomenon in the journal literature of the natural sciences already in the mature Little Science age, and the continuous existence of the phenomenon ever since. The perception and cognition of the effect is shown on the basis of the relevant findings of the present author's previous, manual fact-finding reference investigations based on autopsy, processing around 27,600 journal communications and reference stocks containing more than 322,000 citations. Finally, a summarizing definition of the effect is given. In the next, second paper, the manifestation of the AES phenomenon will be demonstrated and analyzed in the theoretically most homogeneous domain of the scientific literature.

The 'Author's Effect of Showcasing' (AES) is the activity of publishing authors with which they shape by their own free will the formal reference stock of their communications, placing this stock into the showcase of science. This paper reports the results of a decisive control test of the existence of the AES, processing 1175 historically synchronous physics conference communications. Applying methods of bibliometrics and science philology, the manifestation of the AES phenomenon is demonstrated and analyzed in this theoretically most homogeneous domain of scientific literature. The widely differing documentedness in the communications of conferences held on particular topics of physics, especially the great differences in the size of the formal reference stocks in all extent categories of the communications depends solely on the person of the authors. This generally and extremely heterogeneous documentedness is therefore a valid evidence of the existence of the effect and its effective operation in the scientific literature. The correctness of the AES doctrine, including the correctness of two additional theses, has been demonstrated: the relatively diminishing growth of the formal reference stock and specific documentedness with the growth in the extend of communications, and the existence of weakly, moderately, strongly and very strongly documented communications in all extent categories of the communications.
