Abstract :
IN THE PAST FIVE years since the 1959 change in editorship of these TRANSACTIONS, many references have been made in editorials to the increasing research activity focused on the management of research, development, and engineering — an activity often referred to as “research-on-research.” Many of the articles published in the past five years have come from such efforts by people in a wide variety of disciplines and applied fields, such as: Sociology, Psychology, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, Business Administration, Operations Research, etc.
