Abstract
The development of high speed worldwide data communications capabilities and numerous online databases of scientific information will undoubtedly lead to more exchange of such information among the world's developed countries. Various factors will facilitate such exchanges, while others will act as barriers. This research work determines such factors within one of the world's premier high energy physics laboratories, located in Japan. The methodology used was a series of structured interviews with a significant number of the theoretical and experimental physicists in the facility. The results show that the physicists in this laboratory do access scientific information from the U.S. via computer networks. Significant factors are shown to be the researcher's work group, job position and age, and the availability of a database with appropriate information and facilities for full text hard copy. A number of other non-significant factors are also indicated.
