The world's technical journal literature: An estimate of volume, origin, language, field, indexing, and abstracting
Charles P. Bourne · American Documentation · 1962
Abstract A quantitative estimate is made of the magnitude of the world's scientific and technical journal literature problem. Using a number of basic sources of statistical information, a composite picture is established to show such things as the total volume, linguistic and national origins, breakdown by subject field, and degree of coverage by the abstracting and indexing services.
