Abstract

Science Indicators-1976 has been prepared with a great deal of skill and is a valuable document. The fact that it reflects the unsatisfactory state of basic knowledge of the ways in which science and technology affect, and are affected by, various economic, social, and political variables of interest to policy makers is no fault of its authors. Nonetheless, in handling some topics, the report might have gone further in indicating the limitations of the measures used. Also, several topics omitted from the report might be considered for inclusion in subsequent editions.
