The International Catalogue of Scientific Papers was a bibliographic index of scientific literature that was published from 1901-1915, producing a total of 250 volumes.[1]

History

In 1865 the Smithsonian Institution began a catalog of scientific papers that developed into the International Catalogue of Scientific Papers in 1901.[1][2][3] The growing international tension that would lead to World War I led to the suspension of the publication of the International Catalogue of Scientific Papers.[4]

As opposing trenches drew a line from Switzerland to the Channel, international science, as the New Statesman put it, was 'wrecked'. The international catalogue of scientific papers was suspended, and routine exchanges of data, weather maps, publications and reports all came to an abrupt end. 'Scientific objectivity' evaporated before jingoistic sentiments to which Lockyer lent the pages of Nature, and Crookes, those of Chemical News.
