THE SCIENTIST, a biweekly newspaper for scientists and the research community, is now available electronically -- in full text and free of charge -- on the Internet network. Eugene Garfield, publisher of THE SCIENTIST, states that electronic access to the newspaper's articles and features has been made fully available following a successful trial experiment on NSFnet, the electronic communications network of the National Science Foundation. Founded in 1986, THE SCIENTIST is published in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and is circulated internationally to researchers, administrators, and policy makers in academia, industry, and government. THE SCIENTIST is the only newspaper that exclusively covers current issues and events that impact the professional research environment--including funding legislation, new grants, employment and salary trends, career advancement opportunities, ethics and conflicts of interest, representation of women and minorities in science, and the interplay of industrial, academic, and governmental research. In addition, THE SCIENTIST reports on trends in research and features the opinions of leaders in science. THE SCIENTIST can be accessed on the NSFnet AT&T server by the instructions provided below. The full text of issues from November 1992 onward are accessible. New issues are added every two weeks on alternate Mondays, coinciding with the cover date of the printed edition. Back issues are being loaded every other week, until the full seven year file is completed.

To request The Scientist from the Info-Server, send a message to : INFO-SERVER@admin () ds internic net You do not need a subject field. However, the text of your request must be in a special format as follows: REQUEST: the-scientist LINE-LIMIT:1500 or BYTE-LIMIT: 40K TOPIC: the-scientist-921207 (if you want the December 7 issue) or TOPIC:the-scientist-index (if you wish to see the list of Scientist files) REQUEST:END This request asks for two documents -- The Scientist of December 7, 1992 and Index to The Scientist. You can request upto 20 topics in one request. Each topic on a separate line. The AT&T Info-Server is now configured to split documents into a maximum size of 40,000 bytes (40K bytes). The reason is that some important mail gateways reject messages longer than an arbitrary limit, and others have difficulty with long messages from time to time. This is why you have to give Line or Byte Limit on the second line of your request. The requested information will be transmitted to your mail box. ------------------<>--------------- ------ End of Forwarded Message
