ic Research Department at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey. Brown points out that earlier developments in the growth of the Journal—for example, the addition of Associate Editors in Europe and Japan and expansion from bimonthly to monthly publication—also aimed at providing more timely communication. "JMR Abstracts will enable current Journal subscribers to obtain early information on upcoming topics which are most important to them," said Brown. "Newcomers, who may be unfamiliar with the Journal, will find that JMR Abstracts provides an excellent entrée to current developments in the materials research field." "JMR Abstracts is not itself a journal," he emphasized, "but it is much more than a table of contents to JMR. Scientists and librarians will hâve the opportunity to examine the topics and scan the abstracts from upcoming articles several weeks before they are actually published. They can then flag articles to be sure they don't miss them when they receive their copies of JMR, or, if they don't receive a subscription to JMR, they can place an advance order for a single copy or article reprint. The System offers considérable flexibility—for MRS members, individual subscribers, and libraries."
