7. LITERATURE SEARCH ON IONOSONDE AND IONOGRAM

In the survey last year one person suggested I should make a survey of publications on ionosondes. This seemed a good idea so our librarian, Vivian To, had several on line data bases searched using the key words ionogram and ionosonde. The following list of papers were what we obtained. I should have spent the extra effort in putting the search results into alphabetic order, but for various reasons, I didn't. The search looks at the titles of papers and also at any key words if these have been specified and was made for the years 1991 and 1992.

Did you write a paper and now you fail to see it in the list? What went wrong? Possibly our search did not include the publication outlet you used, although our search was reasonably comprehensive, as a quick check of the journals represented shows. More likely, you did not mention ionosondes or ionograms either in the title or in the key words of your paper. Failure to do this could lead to the impression that ionosondes are not being used for published research. That would be most unfortunate as some groups use research as a supporting reason for continuing to operate an ionosonde.

I would like to encourage everyone who is using ionosonde data to remember to mention this in either their title, or in the key words they supply to editors to describe the paper content. This will help keep ionosondes visible in the literature. Furthermore, if journals have citation lists for describing articles, and the words ionosonde or ionogram are unavailable, draw this omission to the Editor's attention.
