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

14 tion, does not make deductions, does not develop hypotheses, does not conduct experiments — as all these belong to research itself. Science organization developed as a result of the process of turning science into direct productive force, while the documentation of science organization developed from the science organization. This process may thus be symbolized: scientific-technical revolution — science as productive'force — science organization — documentation of science organization. This paper aims at reflecting the last phase of this process, as the supplementary part of the preceding three phases, in its development, complexity, interactions and perspectives, on the basis of present experience. The problems in question, being a part of a process, may contain a great number of problematic elements in respects to its subject, systematization, and of its relation to other documentations. Besides the organization of a centralized documentation that comprises science policy, organization and every branch of science, there is room for organizing similar activity within a branch of science, and even within the framework of an institute or industrial plant with the proper restriction of the subject. Documentation of a branch of science will be gradually completed with subjects of the documentation of science organization concerning its own branch. This will make possible a continuous, detailed national and international comparison and exchange of working methods. Thus the documentation of science organization, on a unified theoretical and methodological basis, with the working combination of centralization and decentralization, and of the cooperation and specialization, may become a modest promoter of scientific work and the development of the national economy. And this determines ts status in the social division of labour.* METHODOLOGICAL TABLE on systematization of the documentation of science organization — outline — 1.
