Two sets of variables were investigated. The first set, identified as institutional or structural variables, included the following six variables: level of education, academic preparation, years of professional aerospace work experience, type of organization, professional duty, and technical discipline. The second set, identified as sociometric or source selection variables, included the following seven variables: accessibility, ease of use, expense, familiarity or experience, technical quality or reliability, comprehensiveness, and relevance. The goal of the study was to determine which variables explain the use of U.S. government technical reports by U.S. aerospace engineers and scientists. |
