The publication inflation

Gertrude London

American Documentation, 1968, vol. 19, issue 2, 137-141

Abstract: The much‐vaunted information explosion seems to be the manifestation of a rather generalized publication inflation. Multipublication and pretentious writing have become obstacles to “communication between human minds.” To counteract their harmful effects it will be necessary to reduce the quantity and improve the quality of the printed records by filtering the material before it is stored for retrieval.
