Series Description
The Publications Committee was a Standing Committee formed to oversee the production of IUPAC’s various publications. Established in 1969, its duties included advising on the design and implementation of publications, data sharing, and standards of promoting the exchange of chemical information. Due to the advent of electronic information media, the Publications Committee was later renamed the Committee on Printed and Electronic Publications. This committee is currently called the Committee on Publications and Cheminformatics Data Standards.
Arranged in chronological order by date, this series contains IUPAC’s Publications Committee files. The files in this series document the activities of the Publications Committee between 1970 and 1986. Topics discussed in these files include the appointment of a new official IUPAC publisher and the replacement of IUPAC’s Scientific Editor (See also Boxes 206-207).
The contents of the Publications Committee consist mainly of correspondence. Meeting minutes, reports, and a few manuscripts are also preserved here.
