dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this research project was to examine the constituent elements of the information communication process in basic and applied science in South Africa and to establish what cognitive, behavioural and environmental factors lead to the scientists' encounter with the communication process and the consequences of such an encounter. The aim was further to address the role of informal communication, the impact of information and communication technologies, and the effect that various structural and environmental changes that have occurred over the last decades, have had on the communication process. The methodological approach of the study was based on a conceptual analysis of the literature integrated with an empirical investigation into the communication of information amongst a group of scientists in South Africa.en_ZA
