search through journal, A study on information dissemination by journal publishing at agricultural research institutes in China focused on the following research areas: goals of publications programs, editing and publishing processes, dissemination, feedback gathering, evaluation, and corrective actions. Data were collected by surveying 75 agricultural journals published from 29 agricultural academies or provinces, municipalities or autonomous regions, and 28 research institute under the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS). Findings were that agricultural research institutes produced these journals mainly for disseminating their research information to other researchers, extensionists and educators. It was found that these journals published articles mostly from unsolicited manuscripts with the emphasis on the academic merit and that little interaction existed between editors and authors during the manuscript processing. Older typesetting and printing technologies seriously delayed publication and most journals were subscribed to and distributed through post offices. Promotion and marketing have not been given due attention. Journal offices at times obtained feedback from readers and evaluated the utility of publication and that the impact of publication programs was mainly evaluated on social benefits. Feedback and evaluation findings were sometimes used to improve future publications but not for the institute program planning. Recommendations are made to improve communication functions of journals programs at agricultural research institutes in China. (author).
AGRICOLA IND 92014245, This paper uses the diffusion of F1 hybrid rice as a case for examining the effects of education on the adoption of new technology in China. A simple behavioral model that treats the adoption of hybrid rice as a portfolio selection problem is presented. The implications of the model are tested with farm-level data collected from a sample of 500 households in Hunan Province. The results from a dichotomous profit model and a two-limit obit model are consistent with the hypothesis that education has a positive impact on the adoption of new technology. (original)

This paper describes the present status and development of the Chinese agricultural documentation and information systems and the core role of the National AGRIS Center played in promoting the development of the systems. The emphasis has been placed in coordinating and establishing the agricultural databases, computer searching systems, information transmitting systems and international cooperations in China. It points out that the common strategic task facing all the developing countries in the establishment of national agricultural databases in each country and selectively contribute the valuable data to the international agricultural databases for information resources sharing of the world. Digitizing of Chinese characters for establishing the Chinese agricultural databases, the techniques of development and use in dealing the Chinese charactes as well as the technical line adopted for the construction of the Chinses agricultural databases have been also disucssed.
