Notes:
The critical assessment of information as a means of screening and selecting scientific results, leading to a procedure for condensing the flood of data from the primary literature into the secondary literature, is reviewed (here, exemplified for organic chemistry). The criteria for critical assessment without loss of content, developed and tested by the Beilstein Institute on the basis of a hundred years' experience, are presented. The possible extent to which data can thus be reduced is demonstrated for a number of examples.
