农业科技情报的功能和效益评价初探

EVALUATION ON THE FUNCTION AND EFFICIENCY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION

科技情报在科学研究和技术推广工作中的功能主要表现为:情报是立题的基础;情报是引发创造性思维的火花,是科技攻关的梯子;情报是评定科技成果水平和情报专利的重要依据;情报是科学技术转化为生产力的桥梁和媒介。农业科技情报效益可分解为社会效益和经济效益两部分。经济效益的定量化十分复杂和困难。目前可先以某项科研成果或技术推广成果所得的经济效益作为基数,根据情报工作者在该项研究或推广工作中所起的作用的大小,按三个档次占不同的分额(百分数)进行简单的估算。

The function of scientific and technological information in scientific re- search and technical extention is summerized as follows: information is the basis of the selection of research subject; it may lead to creativeness; it is also an important basis to evaluate the achievements of science and technol- ogy and to verify patent; it serves as a bridge and media for the transform- ation from science and technology into productivity. The effeciency of agri- cultural scientech information consists of two parts: social efficiency and economic efficiency. The quantification of its economic efficiency is very complicated and difficult. It is suggested that evaluation can be made on the basis of the role of information staff in that particular research or extent- ion achievement (% equivolence) taking the economic efficiency resulted fr- om that particular research or extention achievement as the base.
