One might well begin with the conclusion: ‘It is quite obvious that computer systems are rapidly being accepted on Norwegian ships’ although shipping opinion is still divided into two camps, the believers and the agnostics.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
