12 and of ilheoretieal research; training of scientists (scientific practice of graduate personnel, organized forms of training, scientific degrees and qualifications); distribution of scientific workers (systematic distribution by levels and branches of science according to the needs of the national economy and the researdk); material (remuneration of scientific work; awards), and various forms <s£ material stimulation). like systematic scientific manpower management is closely connected with tike long-range thematic plan of science and with that of the national economy and with demography (distribution of population by occupation, by economic sectors; composition of active population by age, etc.) Pfenning of scientific manpower, as one of the most important components of the thematic plan of research as well as of the plan of national economy, is a complicated task methodologically too, due to the several subjective factors involved. It is, therefore, a debated subject in the literature of the last decade. Since international comparison in this field is of great importance (its political bearing is the peaceful competition of the two social systems, one index of which being the number of qualified specialists) a large quantity of statistical material has bam published. Evaluation of this material is also involved. 9. jScientific Agencies and Organizations Besearch work, in respect to working place, is performed in three large fields: within or attached to plant (development division of an industrial plant, laboratories, research departments, or in case of large industrial organization: researdk institutes), within the framework of higher education (faculty research institutes, university or college research laboratories, research centers attached to universities), in professional research organizations (research institutes, institutes attached to scientific and productive organizations such as academic, industrial, agricultural, etc. research institutes, — learned societies, academies, scientific centres, foundations, etc.). Besearch work, performed in all the three fields, have their proper organisational forms, frameworks which are related to the directions of their research (natural sciences, technology, social sciences) and to their contact with tike special branch of science and the national economy. The question, which »rganizational forms are adequate to certain type of research, and within these forms which one seems to be the most effective, is answered by registration of publications relating to research organizations and their activities (reportoon general meetings, annual reports, accounts, descriptions of activities, directories of institutions and other reference works of this kind.) 10. Sàkntific Information Questions of scientific information, within the documentation of science organisation, are discussed in connection with their research aspects in so far, as the -teientific information is a part of the process of turning science into a productive force. Problems of scientific information within the documentation of science organisation can be considered from two aspects. Theory and methodology of scientific communication analyses the forms of publication, mcthodological-cditorial problems of scientific publications
