Research

Scope and Content Note

This series consists of copies of approximately 3,000 articles published in national and international scientific journals by Wadsworth Center scientists. The records originate as manuscripts of proposed articles, which are later replaced with copies (reprints) of the published articles when available. The articles document the results of research on a wide variety of topics conducted in the center's facilities. The series also includes related editorial memoranda produced by the Publications Office prior to the submission of articles to journals for publication. Proposed articles are reviewed for style, scientific content, organization, choice of journal, and adherence to required procedures in cases where experiments are conducted on humans or animals. In certain cases, the Publications Office calls attention to potentially controversial comments found in manuscript versions of articles and appeals to division directors to consult with authors on these matters.
