医药科技情报工作是科学技术情报工作的组成部分。由于制药工业在化学工业中占有重要地位,并以高于化学工业的速度迅速发展,国外对医药科技情报工作均比较重视。一些大型制药企业不仅在力所能及的范围内自行设置情报机构,而且还推动社会机构及国家加强这方面的工作。 Medical science and technology intelligence work is an integral part of science and technology intelligence work. As the pharmaceutical industry occupies an important position in the chemical industry and develops rapidly at a rate higher than that of the chemical industry, foreign countries attach more importance to medical and scientific information work. Some large pharmaceutical companies not only set up their own intelligence agencies within their own capacity, but also pushed social institutions and countries to step up their efforts in this regard.
