Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Following some introductory notes on science, a brief summary of the structure, contents and principal aims of the State Plan of Scientific Research currently being fulfilled in Czechoslovakia is given. More specifically, the different tasks and extent of work done under the State Plan in physics are described, the relative weight of this field compared to other regions of the plan is evaluated and certain long-term trends are mentioned. In the closing chapter an attempt is made to review the most interesting opinions on various aspects of contemporary physics research and its relations to society.
