Introduction to database:
The scientific and technical reports belong to a special literature that completely and truly reflects the technical contents and experiences of scientific research institution activities in which scientific research institutions or scientific research personnel engage. The scientific and technical reports cover formal reports or records of some scientific research projects or activities, most of which are reports in which research design units or individuals report the progress of achievements in their research designs or development projects to relevant departments or organizations in the written form, generally including the writers’ suggestions and conclusions to the research. The scientific and technical reports are characterized in that
The research covers cutting-edge projects and lead-edge topics. The contents are novel, most of which are the latest research achievements, which are high in perspectiveness. Many of the latest scientific achievements in scientific research and explorations tend to appear in the scientific and technical report firstly;
The report is informative and professional in contents, to which detailed data, charts and fact data are attached, not only reflecting successful experiences, but also covering lessons from technical failure;
The scope of issuance is controlled. Most of the reports belong to confidential literatures, which are presented in the form of internal data, and only can be opened upon decryption.
