ENQUIRE is essentially a library of relevant scientific and technical articles and conference presentations on a wide variety of topics that are relevant to the aims of www.groupone.co.nz and its members, clients and readers. If the particular article is not directly accessible via a link to a pdf. file, we will provide a link to the scientific journal which published the article. These journals normally require a credit card payment (typically $10-$40) before they will email the article to you. ENQUIRE will over time be providing free ‘popular summaries’ of scientific and technical articles, to enable easier assimilation of the basic findings described in the article, for the benefit of less scientifically-orientated readers.
