- RAPID - the ESRC's Research Activity and Publications Information
- Database - plays a key role in the Council's task of demonstrating the
- contribution its funds and activities make to scholarship and to an
- understanding of the economic and social world at large. The database is
- managed at the University of Edinburgh on one of its mainframe
- computers, and holds information on research partly or wholly funded by
- the ESRC and on the various outcomes of this funded activity.
-
- RAPID combines information previously issued through the publications
- "ESRC Research Supported" and the "ESRC Newsletter"; it contains details
- of ESRC awards current at April 1985 or made since 1986, along with
- references to several thousands of publications arising from those
- awards. Entry into RAPID of information on research awards made since
- 1988 is scheduled for Summer 1992. Thereafter the information on awards
- will be updated approximately every three months. Inevitably there is a
- lag between the start of a research award and the publication of
- results. Similarly, there will be some delay between the date of
- publication and the entry of the bibliographic description in RAPID.
