Abstract

It is a well known and much discussed problem that the number of scientific and technical publications is rapidly increasing. The individual scientist or technical expert has to adapt his behavior to this trend. His adaptation may include:-

  • Spending more time on searching and processing publications

  • Ignoring a large share of new publications

  • Restricting and specializing his field of work

  • Improving the efficiency of his work
