A Standard System for Scientific and Technical Publications

Abstract

THE enormous amount of current scientific and technical literature is a matter of common remark. It goes to swell an ever-increasing accumulation, of which a large portion, comprising research data, observations, measurements of values, and so forth, remains of permanent value. The various published indexes serve to keep account of it, but the labour required to make a comprehensive review over any range of recorded fact is considerable, and will steadily increase as time goes on. With the view of alleviating such labour I have worked out in detail an organised publication system, as specified below in two parts.
