Copying with the grouth of chemical knowledge. Chalenges of chemistry documentation, education, and working chemists

Abstract

Chemistry is by far the most productive science concerning the number of publications. A closer look at chemical papers reveals that most papers deal with new substances. The rapid growth of chemical knowledge seriously chailenges al1 institutions and individuals concerned with chemistry. Chemistry documentation following the pnnciple of completeness is required to schematize chemical information, which in turn induces a schematization of chemical research.
