A Multi-Disciplinary Catalogue of Uric Acid Literature of Interest to Behavioural Scientists

Abstract

The research on uric acid encompasses a large number of disciplines and their respective journals. This bibliography (1948 to 1972) was assembled to provide a co-ordinated reference to this source material for behavioural scientists.
