Addresses the center-periphery dichotomy in terms of scientific output, placing emphasis upon the relation between science and technology development on the one hand, and social and economic development on the other. Outlines the main problems faced by most peripheral journals, as well as the role nation states play in scientific activities in developing countries. Gives suggestionshow to help scientists in periphery countries to become fully integrated members of the worldwide network of science and to contribute to the promotion of scientific multilingualism, a means for science to be truly universal, as it should be.
