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

8 manpower problems and to the business management. Merely technological aspects should be omitted. Mathematics, for instance, which has an impact on nearly every field of science, is not in itself, an object of the documentation of science organization, but, as special possibility to be adapted to various sciences, to science organization itself, as well as to scientific information (logistic, operations research, translation machine, documentation by machine). Questions of development of the engineering industry concern the engineering documentation, but, on the other hand, the demands of engineers for the industry, their estimation and planning in connection with the development of technology and science as a whole, is the specific matter of the documentation of science organization. While the technological and other specialized documentations are of primarily of analytical character and practically help the actual research work and development, the documentation of science organization is synthetic in character, and gives — in the first place — comprehensive information on the management of scientific institutions, organization of research work, problems of science policy, etc. The documentation of science organization covers the following disciplines: 1. History, Theory, Philosophy, árul Systematization of Science This group involves the general theoretical problems of science. Works on the history of science (including big general works on the history of particular sciences) contain also a number of lessons for the organization of science. History of science is, at the same time, the history of development of productive forces, and thus gives additional material to promote the understanding of the contemporary process of turning science into a productive force. Works on the theory and philosophy of science analyse the motive forces of the development of science, throw a light upon the connections of social progress and science, the impact of social structure on science (and vice-versa), the status of science, its role in society and the correlations of sciences. Systematization and classification of sciences raise a number of ideological, and, at the same time, practical problems having strong theoretical effect e. g. on the relation of levels of research. 2. Science Policy, Government Administration of Scientific Work This group embodies all decrees, measures, resolutions which aim at the development and coordination of science as a whole in a country, and at its harmonic and proper adaptation to social and state life connected with the production, in a reasonable way. In socialist countries, scientific work like other social activity, is a part of the plan of national economy, and its trends and conditions arc made and insured by the state. In capitalist countries, the state takes but a partial responsibility for scientific work, while the majority of researches are the "monopoly" of monopolies. In socialist countries the most important documents of science policy involve the related government and party resolutions, decrees, statutes, and plans of the national economy as well as government budgets.
