据苏联科学学家 S·卡乌顿所发表的数据,美国目前大约出版有12,000种科学刊物,也即大约每60位科学家就有一种刊物。而苏联目前只有1500种刊物,为美国的八分之一,也即每1000名科学家才有一种刊物。因此如果苏联要想其科学家的成果率和美国的科学家相等的话,那么苏联的科学刊物就不应是1500种,而应是24,000种(美刊《JRRS Report——USSR Science & Technology Policy》,1989年,No.8) According to data published by Soviet scientist S. Cakington, there are currently about 12,000 scientific journals published in the United States, or about every 60 scientists. At the moment, there are only 1,500 publications in the Soviet Union, one eighth of that in the United States, or one for every 1,000 scientists. So if the Soviet Union wants its scientists to achieve the same rate of achievement as American scientists, the Soviet scientific journals should not be 1,500 but 24,000 (JRRS Report - USSR Science & Technology Policy, 1989 Year, No.8)
