Description
Summary:interests, speaks for the scientific community on the international stage. In recent years one of the main activities of ICSU Press has been to consider the impact of the new technologies on the scientific information chain and offer advice and guidelines to the community in order that the scientific endeavour can benefit from the opportunities so provided. In particular it has organised two major conferences here at UNESCO in 1996 and 2001 which brought together a wide range of stakeholders and resulted in a number of recommendations and follow-up activities. An account of these can be found on the ICSU Press web site http://associnst.ox.ac.uk/#~icsuinfo. The need to preserve and archive scientific information in electronic form was a central concern at both these meetings and resulted in the following recommendations.
