The disparity between advanced educational preparation and training and subsequent employment opportunities raises major questions regarding traditional academic expectations and lifestyles. This article offers some suggestions for a new relationship between educational institutions and scientists, writers, artists, and other highly-specialized…

This report represents the National Science Foundation's third projection analysis of science and engineering doctorate supply and utilization. This 1974 study incorporates several new elements. New data have been used, such as the results of the 1973 Survey of Doctoral Scientists and Engineers, and different methodologies were developed, such as…

This is a report of a preliminary study of the job mobility of academic physicists in American higher education institutions that offer a physics major to the baccalaureate level. Survey sampling methods employing a mailed questionnaire were used to collect data from a random sample of 800 academic physicists. The central finding of the study was…

This document reports data on science graduate students currently enrolled, and the number and probable rate of induction of those in draft liable classifications. With the assistance of several societies in the various scientific disciplines, 1,237 doctorate-granting science departments were queried. Reported was information on the draft status…

Most existing automatic content analysis and indexing techniques are based on work frequency characteristics applied largely in an ad hoc manner. Contradictory requirements arise in this connection, in that terms exhibiting high occurrence frequencies in individual documents are often useful for high recall performance (to retrieve many relevant…

British experience relating to the employment of university research reactors and subcritical assemblies in the education of nuclear scientists and technologists, in the training of reactor operators and for fundamental pure and applied research in this field is reviewed. The facilities available in a number of British universities and the uses…

The conference is considered to be an…

Many college and university programs in African and Afro-American Studies have emphasized only the history, arts and culture of the peoples of African descent. The Life Science Project of the Six Institutions' Consortium was therefore a unique departure from all extant programs in African and Afro-American Studies. Its focus featured research into…

This bibliography is the result of an intensive search through all available indexing and abstracting sources in the fields of library science, information science, documentation and computer science. The purpose is to support an investigation into the nature of an information worker and provisions for his education. The basis of selection was…

Reasons behind the fact that there are fewer women scientists than men scientists are explored in this paper. Data on the number of women Ph.D.'s in each field of science for the years 1966 through 1974 are presented and analyzed. Graduate school admissions policies and the greater attrition rate for women in graduate school compared to men are…
