BIBLIOGRAPHY IN SCIENTIFIC ALGONOMY
It is important in scientific algonomy to develop a bibliographic subspecialty dealing with documents that can be found on paper, or on the Internet, or on other media, and that are relevant to the knowledge and management of suffering. This page presents the embryonic beginning of an algoscientific bibliography. Collaboration is required to develop this subspecialty usefully.
