1. Science dynamics studies are empirical investigation of the factors that determine developments in the sciences, not (only) out of general historical and intellectual interest, but (also) with possible, although long-term science-policy interest in mind. For further information on the way science dynamics studies are being stimulated in the Netherlands, see the report by A. RIP,EASST Newsletter No. 2 (May 1982) 16–18.

5. Science Indicators, the bi-annual review of the health of American science, has spawned all sorts of science and/or technology indicator efforts. For science dynamics, the more interesting attempts are those of D. de SOLLA PRICE, e.g. his quantified model of the citation cycle; seeCurrent Contents Nr. 39 (Sept. 29, 1980) 8–20.
