Rózsa, George: The Documentation of Science Organization as an Emerging New Branch of Scientific Information (A MTAK kiadványai 32. Budapest, 1962)

13 (abstracting, indexing, apparatus), furthermore, analyses the original scientific publication of" the first degree" and their evaluation in respect to use (references to one or other publications, mathematical and other methods for the evaluation), and publications of "second degree" such as abstracting journals, reviews, critical comparison of varying forms of documentary publications, emerging new forms of scientific publications (microfilms, microcards, etc.) Theoretical questions of scientific libraries, bibliography and documentation from research standpoint (catalogue-systems, subject catalogues, classification on modern scientific foundation to assist in research), modern technical equipments and devices in the scientific information (information retrieval, machine translation), reasonable new methods and forms of compiling subjects bibliographies (selection, classification, indexing), examination of various forms and of economic-scientific efficiency of documentary work, survey and evaluation of the trend of centralization and decentralization of scientific information by branches of science, etc. The documentation of science organization itself is a new branch of scientific information that developed by setting out from the needs of science policy and organization, relying upon the broad theoretical and methodological experiences of scientific information. Thus scientific information is not a chapter of t he documentation of science organization, the opposite is true. * Those outlined under numbers 1—9 contain the concept, themes, and systematization of the documentation of science organization. This does not fit, however, into any of the developed and usual schemes of science systematization or even library or documentary systematization, and like the science organization itself, appears as a new branch of science, the documentation of science organization appears as a new branch of scientific information. In accordance with the complexity of the documentation of science organization, the methods of processing and registering this literature should approach continually the creative, original research methods, or more accurately, their data collecting and processing phases without making indistinct the difference between the research and the scientific information. This way, the documentation of science organization is not merely a transmission between the subject literature and the research work, but, following its subject, it may be a transition from the documentation to research work. Taking an analogy from industry the documentation of science organization has not only to provide for the "supply of material", "the raw material requirements" of the research, but has also to provide the "research semi-products"

. This, at the same time, is theoretically speaking a perspective for the development of scientific information work. Producing „research semi-products" means that the documentation of science organization (and mutatis mutandis other documentations as well) processes thematically, with tabulations, the documents, makes the data methodologically comparable (e.g. statistical data of various countries), evaluates their relative proportions, compares the descriptions (organizational and management schemes, inner structure of research institutes, budgetary systems of science, methods of calculating efficiency, etc., etc.) on an international scale. The documentation of science organization, on the other hand, on the basis of its findings, does not analyse the science policy and organiza-
