Training of patent abstracters for chemical abstracts

Gerard O. Platau

American Documentation, 1960, vol. 11, issue 1, 40-43

Abstract: A description of the training program used at the Chemical Abstracts Service for preparing abstractors to work in the peculiarly difficult field of abstracting patents while keeping in mind the needs of the chemist rather than those of the lawyer or patent examiner. Important success in improving the quality of the abstracts and increasing the period of service of the abstractors are claimed for this intensive and carefully planned program.
