11. GENERAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS 



For the study of modern science and the determination of the main impulses 

 and tendencies of modern contemporary research, it is necessary to consult journals 

 devoted to science in general. The leading journals of that kind are listed below 

 in chronological order, and under their original or main title. The titles of some 

 journals were changed more than once but a record of such changes is not in scope 

 of our list. Should the reader wish for such information he would find it conven- 

 iently in the Union List of Serials (ULS) or in bibliographical Usts of serial publi- 

 cations. 



Since the purpose of such a list is to enable the historian of science to obtain 

 quickly a general view of scientific problems and novelties at a definite chronological 

 level some of the older and now deceased publications are also included.
