LACK OF INDEXES IN REPORTS OF CONFERENCES: Report of an investigation

Abstract

Are the reports of scientific and technical conferences and symposia commonly published without indexes? An irritated chief chemist asked this question of Aslib, provided some examples of unindexed publications of this type, expressed his dissatisfaction with the position, and asked what was being done about it. The Research Department judged it to be of sufficient importance to justify a limited investigation to establish the facts. The investigation was carried out by the second author.
