Abstract

Since 1978, the Scientific Information Committee of The Royal Society has been conducting a study of the scientific information system of the UK. While this study has drawn on the work of a large number of information researchers, and in general has had a policy‐making function, a number of fact‐finding studies have also been carried out under the aegis of the Royal Society's study itself.
