Greetings All,

  I hope you don't mind me doing this but I need some information for a
class next week.  I'm looking for information on people's opinions on the
subject of scientific papers.  If you don't mind, please reply to this post and
answer the questions below.  Also, please indicate if you are interested in
the results that I gather.  If there is enough interest, I'll post the
results, if not, I'll send them directly to anyone who is interested.

  The class that this is for deals with modern physics, nuclear physics,
semiconductor devices, and transistor devices, with emphasis on handing in
papers, rather than lab reports.  Our first assignment is to determine what
people think of the papers that they read/write/referee.

Thanks for your trouble,

                          Scientific Paper Survey

1)  Do you read/write/referee papers?  For each that apply to you, what do
        you look for?

2)  Of the papers that you read or referee, what percent do you feel are
        well-written?

3)  What is your position/company you work for?  (This is so I'll know
        approximately what the technical level of the people replying is.)
