Resumen Este artículo analiza la repercusión científica internacional de los investigadores de España durante el franquismo. Para ello, trabajando con las memorias del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) y del Patronato “Juan de la Cierva” de Investigaciones Técnicas, se recogen los nombres y perfiles de aquellos investigadores publicando en revistas científicas extranjeras durante el periodo de los llamados “XXV Años de Paz”. Además, con una selectiva exposición de argumentos, el artículo presenta una explicación al papel activo que jugaron las publicaciones científicas en conformar y sustentar la retórica oficial de la internacionalización científica durante el franquismo. Abstract This paper examines the international scientific impact of researchers working in Spain under Franco´s dictatorship. Working with the memoires of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and its Institutes on Applied Science, I recall the names and profiles of those researchers publishing in foreign scientific journals during the so-called “XXV Años de Paz” period. Moreover, with a selective exposition of arguments, I intend to provide a clear and consistent explanation of how scientific publications played an active role in supporting and shaping the Official rhetoric of scientific internationalization during Franco. Palabras claves: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Ciencia, Franquismo, Revistas científicas, Investigadores. Key words: Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Science, Franco´s dictatorship, Scientific journals, Researchers.

Asphalt Mix

A prototype of a new asphalt compactor termed "asphalt multi-integrated roller (AMIR)" was built as a joint venture between the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and a Canadian manufacturer, Lovat Tunnel Equipment, Inc. The purpose of this project was to prove this new compaction concept in a full-scale environment. This paper describes one of the field trials carried out on the campus of the NRC and reports the results quantifying the quality of the AMIR compaction. Key words: compactor, asphalt mix, field trials, laboratory testing.

Selection Of

The Canadian Organizing Committee, the Vancouver Executive Committee and the National Research Council of Canada have done a superb job in planning this conference and in carrying out the enormous amount of detail necessary for its realization. On behalf of the Coastal Engineering Research Council, the other participating organizations, and all of the attendees I thank most heartily all who participated in this work. I am personally most grateful to those representatives of the Canadian Committee who made the final selection of papers. I should explain at this point that a small papers Committee is appointed for each of these conferences to review the summaries submitted by the authors - but this screening is intended only to appraise their appropriateness for a coastal engineering audience - and to eliminate those few papers which are promotional "blurbs". It has not been a technical review such as is made for "refereed" technical and scientific journals. The number of papers submitted for this Conference passing this simple review far exceeded the reasonable limits of the program - and for a brief period the Papers Committee faced the new and distasteful task of selection among papers acceptable under past standards. However, the problem was handled by the Canadian Committee - applying a formula which seemed equitable and reasonable. I trust that those affected concur in this judgment.

The Waves

Large-scale laboratory tests of the evolution of bedforms in sand beds, under directional irregular waves, carried out at the National Research Council Canada, are described. Preliminary observations indicate that the directionality of the waves is not an important factor; bedforms remained largely two-dimensional under all but transitional conditions. Incident wave height and period, probably combined as a wave orbital amplitude near the bed, seems to be the most important factor in determining bedform dimensions, followed by the D50 sand size on the bed. Sand gradation may be unimportant. Key words: seabed, sand, water waves, bedforms, morphology, roughness.

This chapter explores how validation of new results works in science. It also looks at the peer-review process, both pros and cons, as well as scientific communication, scientific journals, and scientific publishers. We give an assessment of the total number of existing journals with peer review. Other topics discussed include the phenomenon of open access, predatory journals and their impact on contemporary science, and the market of scientific publications. Finally, we touch on degenerative phenomena, such as the market of co-authors, bogus papers, and irrelevant and wrong studies, as well as the problem and the social cost of irreproducible results.
