<正> van Loon,A.J.,1995.Facilitating the tracing of articles in scientific and technical periodicals:aspects to be considered.Chinese Journal of Scientific and Technical Periodicals,1995,6(4),p.31-34Retrieval of an article is possible only after its source has been traced.Unfortunately thetracing of journal articles is often hampered by incomplete or ambiguous data provided by theauthor,or-more frequently-by insufficient indicators provided by the editor or the publisher.It is profitable for editors and publishers,however,to facilitate the tracing of the articles intheir journals;they should hold to some fundamental rules for the purpose.The rules concernprimarily the presentation of a journal as an entity,the presentation of single issues,and thepresentation of individual articles,with special attention for the first page of each article.Themost important aspects are indicated.
