3: Information Economics

In 1998, CENDI undertook a Cost Study (CENDI/97-3) that included a white paper on The Changing R&D Information Economy in the Digital Age. The report concluded that information is more expensive during this transition period where systems must produce both traditional paper and digital information. There are also hidden costs such as hardware and software obsolescence and replacement and staff training.
